Joel Creasey is one of Australia’s most-popular, acclaimed and charmingly controversial stand-up comedians, radio and television presenters.
Broadly known as part of Australia’s national #1 FM Drive Show for 46 surveys ‘Ricki-Lee, Tim and Joel’, Joel has also hosted SBS’s Eurovision for seven consecutive years, as well as the ‘Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras’ parade for five years.
A self-described shameless “fame whore”, Joel has become a television staple on commercial networks and streaming platforms with his most recent stand-up comedy special released this year, ‘Joel Creasey: Queen of the Outback’ filmed at the fabulous Broken Heel Festival for Amazon Prime Video. Joel’s stand-up special ‘Thirsty’ is on Netflix’s Comedians of the World and was launched globally to rave reviews. A second broadcast stand-up special, ‘Fame Whore’, filmed at the iconic Sydney Opera House, features on Amazon Prime worldwide and 10Play.
In the world of stand up, Joel has had sell out tours of Australia, the UK, Asia and the USA. With his first solo tour at the age of 19 earning him a Best Newcomer nomination at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival – Joel has gone on to present ten acclaimed, sell out tours. Joel was fortunate enough to be hand-picked by the legendary Joan Rivers as her US support act with Joan going on to say “He is a f*cking star!”.

Rhys Nicholson is a multi-award-winning Australian stand-up, writer, actor and collager.  
 
With an enormous passion for live performing, their work continues to receive awards and accolades around the world. As well as numerous televised stand up performances in Australia, the UK and Canada, in early 2019 Rhys was hand picked to open for comedy legend Conan O’Brien on his Australian tour. A few months later this lead to Nicholson’s USA television debut as the stand up guest on CONAN (TBS). 2019 proved to be quite a big year for Rhys (which is lucky because 2020 and 2021 have been a bit of a nightmare) when in November they recorded their third stand up special. This time for Netflix worldwide, making Rhys one of only three Australians with a solo show on the streaming giant and earning them a nomination for Best Stand Up Comedy Special at the AACTA Awards in 2021. 
 
Alongside a booming stand-up career, Nicholson is a favourite across our small screens. From panel shows to documentary and acting roles, he clearly doesn’t like to sit still very much. Over the years Rhys has had a whole bunch of guest and supporting roles in a plethora of sitcoms across networks and countries. Most recently being cast as a series regular in the Netflix Sci-Fi comedy The Imperfects to be released in 2022. Rhys was very excited about the fact they had a stunt double.  You can also catch them on the judging panel of seasons 1 & 2 of RuPaul’s Drag Race Downunder
