Rhys Nicholson is a comedian, actor, and judge on Drag Race Down Under.
They began their stand-up journey in their teens, with regular train rides to Sydney’s open mic evenings, before launching onto the global comedy scene with a slot on Conan O’Brien. This, in turn, lead to a Netflix special, which found it’s way to one RuPaul.
They’ve won countless awards, have toured globally multiple times, and are a regular panellist and host on Australian television.
Their book DISH was published in 2023. Their experience and voice on the relationship that some queer people have with bodies and food is one I personally welcome.
We discuss music by the Scissor Sisters, Talking Heads, and David Byrne. Follow Rhys online.
