Glynn Nicholas, Creative Director
Glynn began as a street performer in Munich, then, one day, en-route to Perth he discovered the Rundle Mall in Adelaide which was so yummy he stayed a few years.
In a transition from performer to Producer and Director, his shows have included theatre, opera, musicals, cabaret, festivals, radio and television.
He was in the ABC’s Big Gig and has co-produced his own comedy series. He
produced and directed the prototype, “Eurobeat Almost Eurovision” which toured Australia, was the biggest selling show at the Edinburgh Fringe, toured 6 months in the UK and ran 3 months in the West End. His play, “Man Ovaboard” has played in several countries and Glynn knows Humphrey B. Bear personally so shut up.
