Glynn Nicholas

Glynn Nicholas is a powerhouse of comedy and theatre. From a background of mime and the street smart skills of busking, to directing, producing, and starring in television and theatre performances around the world, you could say he has a trick or two up his sleeve. Welcome to his online home.

Glynn Nicholas likes a challenge. He has a passion for acting and directing and amongst his favourite people are dancers, comedians, musicians, singers, book keepers* and anyone who is able to make a living from their art.
Nicholas started his career as a busker and for many years he has been creating innovative theatre in Australia and overseas.
*They can do things he cannot.

Comedy

Comedy comes in all shapes and sizes and in all styles from black to slapstick and Nicholas relishes working in every genre. He is one of Australia’s most talented physical comedians, an experienced stand-up comedian, an award-winning comic improvisor, mime, musician and actor.

Director

Nicholas has worked worldwide directing with a diverse range of companies, festivals and individuals in many genres including theatre, cabaret, special events, variety, stand-up, comedy and musical theatre. Increasingly Nicholas works with public speakers, helping with content, stagecraft and delivery.

Producer

The Glynn Nicholas Group has created, managed and presented more than twenty original stage productions, one television series and a number of special events and concerts over the past twenty years. Shows have been licensed to several countries overseas and Nicholas collaborates with writers and other producers to create new Australian works for the domestic and international markets.

The thought crossed my mind that Mr Nicholas, a performer par excellence, needed something extra special for his one man show. Not a comedy – he’s a master of the art; not mime or music – he’s perfectly capable with these; not satire or direction – all immaculately handled. No, Glynn Nicholas needs a venue where he could be seen by thousands more in comfort.

It is quietly terrifying to watch Glynn Nicholas begin his new comedy show. He appears so likeable, so vulnerable and modest, that an audience is immediately on the edge of their seats praying for his success. But this master of poignant comedy needs no-prayers…. His mime is precise, his card tricks awesome and his comedy narrative tip-toes through potentially dangerous balance of slow pathos and laughs.
