Wax Quizzical with Kyran Nicholson

Wax Quizzical with Kyran Nicholson

A celebrity sits down to do a quiz. Simple enough. Except their only lifeline is a phone call from whoever happens to be available - a Boost Juice employee, the Devil, Alexander Graham Bell, a cloud.


Wax Quizzical is a fully improvised quiz show hosted by Kyran Nicholson, live from Comedy Republic in the heart of Melbourne. Each episode, a comedian attempts ten trivia questions with the help of the brains trust - Australia’s best improvisers, deep in character, completely committed, and almost entirely useless.


The result is a show that somehow teaches you things while being completely unhinged.


New episodes fortnightly. Live recordings at Comedy Republic, 231 Bourke St Melbourne - be in the room when it happens.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
