Having been reviewing for more than 20 years, it came as quite a surprise, as I checked my records, that this was the first time I had tackled a comedy gig.

Rhys Nicholson is probably best known to UK audiences for being one of judges on Drag Race Down Under. There they made quite an impression with some cutting one liners and sharp outfits.

And resplendent in a tailored green suit and delivering some cracking gags, their stand-up is as crisp and cutting as those who only know Nicholson from the TV will expect.

This is, in fact, their first UK tour and it is clear that there is an appetite for this sort of antipodean queer comedy here as the OFS was very close to a complete sell out for this midsummer performance.

Nicholson's queerness is very much at the heart of the comedy. There is plenty of good natured straight-bashing as a counterbalance to tales of homophobia that Nicolson has encountered through life.

And as eagle-eyed readers may have noticed through the use of they/them pronouns, Nicholson started exploring their non-binary identity in recent years and this new aspect of their life is woven into the comedy to rich effect.

What a first may seem a rather scattergun approach soon reveals itself to be a more considered and structured exploration of someone who is facing up to the early stages of ageing whilst also reconsidering their core identity at a time of more global uncertainty. This sounds a lot heavier than it actually is. There are laughs a plenty throughout the ninety or so minutes that they command the stage.

Oh yes, and a fair amount of smut! Which, being a mainly British audience, got some of the biggest laughs of the night.

Nicholson is sharp, witty comic with a uniquely queer perspective on the world. And as Pride month draws to a close for another year, this was a fitting part of those celebrations with just a few reminders of how many challenges still confront queer communities round the globe.

Shame it was only a one night visit. Hopefully they will be back in Oxford soon.
