A Happy Endings favourite is joining us tonight for some serious laughs along with plenty of special guest comics. A not to be missed night!

Rhys Nicholson – in 2016 he was nominated for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Barry Awards (the biggest comedy award in Australia) WINNER – Best Newcomer at the 2012 Sydney Comedy Festival Awards.

Brilliantly irreverent and unapologetic, his unique brand of wry humour and sardonic wit combined with a complete lack of self-censorship make for hilarious social commentary. The Newcastle-born comedian is ruthless. No subject is taboo.
