Rhys Nicholson
Newcastle born comedian Rhys Nicholson just got back from a solo run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He's a local regular at the Comedy Store and has supported big name acts around Australia. But Rhys is probably best summed up his audience Fringe reviews, which said "I will admit I'd never heard of this bloke before we saw him" and "few can manage to be simultaneously as filthy and endearing as Rhys Nicholson."

Rhys Nicholson
This episode was recorded in Edinburgh, Scotland. Rhys Nicholson is a star waiting to happen.

His comedy is frank, up front, straight forward, unabashed and unapologetic even when he talks about the details of his sex life. In his own words he told his Grandmother "Being gay is not all anal sex and dancing." He can be unsettlingly graphic on stage at times...
