The stand-up special was recorded at Sydney’s magnificent Enmore Theatre. Hosted by Rhys Nicholson, the concert features a cast of award-winning LGBTQIA+ comedy superstars, including Urzila Carlson, Geraldine Hickey, Cassie Workman, and Chris Parker. Rhys has had a busy time over the last few years, hosting RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under in New Zealand, and won the 2022 Melbourne International Comedy Award for Most Outstanding Show (formerly the Barry Award) for his latest show Rhys! Rhys! Rhys!, which he then took to sell out audiences in LA, Montreal, Toronto, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This all new one-hour special is brazen, honest, warm, and above all—hilarious.
