In a celebration of campness, Christmas and comedy, best pals Joel Creasey and Rhys Nicholson – and their chosen family – will host a suite of yuletide shows this November and December for ‘Rhys & Joel’s Family Christmas’.
The 2022 debut of the show was met with huge success, leaving audiences in stitches. Now, the dynamic duo will once again sashay across Australia, joining forces to host evenings of pure, unadulterated hilarity. They’ll be joined by a soon-to-be-announced line-up of the nation’s fiercest comedians, drag artists and musicians.
These self-proclaimed drunk aunties will take time out of their hectic solo schedules (Joel known as the glittering star of radio show ‘Ricki-Lee, Tim And Joel’ and for co-hosting Australia’s ‘Eurovision’ coverage; Rhys renowned for ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under’ and their very own Netflix special) to come together for some good old festive frivolity.
“Fresh off the back of our debut season which was a festive triumph (can only put that down to me). I get to rejoin my best friend Rhys Nicholson on stage for a very jovial and gay family Christmas tour!” Joel says of the show. “Rhys is both the devil and the angel on my finely toned deltoid (that’s your shoulder) and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
“Come watch as we really get into the Christmas spirit. And by ‘spirit’ I mean gin,” Rhys adds. “I can't think of a better way to spend the silly season than monetising the relationship I have with my best friend live on stage.”
Tickets are on sale now.
