10 Quick Qs – Rhys Nicholson
1. Describe your show Twitter-style, 140 character or less!
#ToBeHonestIHaveNoIdeaHowToDec ribeTheShowWithoutSoundingWank ySoImJustMakingThisAsDifficult ToReadAsPossibleInTheHopeYouve GivenUp.
2. Who’s the biggest celebrity you’ve ever been ignored by?
Jesus Christ.
3. I’m sure you’re excited to be visiting Melbourne for the comedy festival. Tell us what you hate most about Sydney.
I guess what I hate the most about living in Sydney is my Melbourne friends visiting me, staying in my house and telling what they hate about Sydney.
4. What was the most challenging aspect about preparing your show?
It used to be finding somewhere to smoke but this is my first MICF since quitting, so I guess now it’ll be finding somewhere to fellate a member of the bar staff for a cigarette.
5. You can choose to have anything named after yourself: a planet, stadium, street, whatever. How would you immortalise yourself?
The Rhys Nicholson-Rockafeller Memorial Casino, Emporium Outlet and Bar & Grill.
6. What’s your favourite strategy for eviscerating a heckler?
Nice use of eviscerating. I tend not to have hecklers because I talk so fast and so loudly. On the rare occasion I find a good ol’ fashioned summary of their physical appearance never goes astray.
7. Why would someone not want to come see your show?
If you have a fear of llamas and a rubber allergy, this probably isn’t the show for you.
8. Describe to us your ideal breakfast.
Nicholas Hoult
9. What is the biggest accolade you’ve received from one of your shows?
Last year on Edinburgh I saw someone using one of my flyers to clean up vomit.
10. What other MICF show are you most excited to catch up with?
I think I’m most excited to see Fiona O’Loughlin‘s new show. All I have heard are amazing things.
