Rhys Nicholson is a razor-sharp comedian, actor, and RuPaul’s Drag Race judge whose rapid-fire wit has made them one of the most respected stand-ups in the game.
In this wildly unpredictable conversation with Jimmy & Nath, Rhys pulls back the curtain on their journey from a teenage comedy obsessive in Newcastle to an international headliner splitting their time between Australia, the UK, and the US. They reflect on their early delusions of grandeur, the brutal reality of breaking into stand-up, and why they still don’t think they were born funny—despite spending over a decade proving otherwise.
Rhys dives into their experience navigating the US during a political firestorm, their unlikely path to Drag Race royalty, and why they still get terrified doing improv, despite being one of the best in the business. Plus, they dish on the rise of social media comics, the double-edged sword of crowd work clips, and what it really takes to build a career in comedy today.
