A comedian’s advice to their younger self: ‘Get a double bed and be more forward’

Each week, Benjamin Law asks public figures to discuss the subjects we’re told to keep private by getting them to roll a die. The numbers they land on are the topics they’re given. This week, he talks to Rhys Nicholson. The comedian and actor, 34, won the outstanding show gong at the 2022 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Nicholson is the author of the memoirRhys Nicholson: “If I could wear a bustle and be full Victorian nanny, I’d be very comfortable.”] My husband!Oh, absolutely.

If you could go back in time and give a younger version of yourself a pep talk about sex, what would you say? First: get a double bed. Don’t spend the first two years living out of home in a single bed. And be a bit more forward. I was very unforward and would ignore it if people were hitting on me. I wouldn’t say disrespect yourself, but I think I was pretty hot at times in my early 20s and could’ve been getting railed.I’m going to get Pepsi in the bubblers.

I’m working on new material at the moment, which means that you don’t kill very often. But then, you have these little wins. Every now and then, I’ll just blurt something out that resonates. That’s kind of what comedy is, in a weird way.When I first started dying, it was dead silence. No one’s got an opinion about you. You’re just talking to nothing. But I’m very lucky: I’ve become more successful and me bombing now feels like what would’ve been killing 15 years ago.In comedy, it’s inevitable.

So all those people caught in the opioid crisis, you’re like, “What’s happened to you is awful, but I also get it.”Rhys Nicholson is performing at the Sydney, Brisbane and Perth comedy festivals in April and May.
