Rhys Nicholson vs. Shrek, Janice from the Doggy Daycare, and Raffaello the Pizza Man

Rhys Nicholson vs. Shrek, Janice from the Doggy Daycare, and Raffaello the Pizza Man

Why did eight uninvited theatre companies turn up in Edinburgh in August 1947, accidentally creating the Fringe?


Rhys Nicholson - Kyran's husband - is in the guest chair, and the brains trust includes a member of the actual household: Hopkins the dog, on stage and alarmingly candid. Phoning in to help are Shrek, who maintains his film is a documentary of his life; Soft Touch Sherelle, a TAFE-trained Ipswich wedding celebrant with very strong views on uncles filming the bride; and Raffaello Esposito, the Neapolitan pizzaiolo who takes pineapple on pizza straight to the ICC as a war crime.


A new episode of Wax Quizzical with host Kyran Nicholson, Claire Hooper, Amy Ruffle and Tim Hewitt.

The improvisors on Wax are all members of Something Good - a weekly improv show, every Wednesday at Comedy Republic - tickets to Something Good are available here.
