“The team have handpicked a frankly embarrassingly good program of Comedy Festival shows that you really should have seen but might have missed because you’re a dummy. I can’t think of anything better than performing the first Melbourne encore of ‘Rhys! Rhys! Rhys!’ at my very own theatre. I love that room and also I get free drinks. What more could I ever want?”
