The tour marks the pair’s first reunion since their sold-out tour in 2023 became a smash-hit, and a Christmas Comedy Special for Foxtel/Binge. The 2025 shows will be bigger and better than ever.
What began as a cheeky idea between friends has become one of Australia’s favourite Christmas traditions. After taking 2024 off to let the plum pudding settle, Joel and Rhys are back with fresh stories, bigger surprises, and a guest list guaranteed to make these shows the loudest, gayest, and most unpredictable.
Each night, the pair will welcome some of the most recognisable faces in comedy, TV and music, presenting a two-hour feast of stand-up, storytelling, and festival chaos. Celebrity secrets, carols, gossip (served with cocktails) and the kind of Christmas conversation you could never have at home unless you want your nana to spit out her trifle in shock.
Previous guests have included Osher Günsberg, Kitty Flanagan, Chrissie Swan, Dave Hughes, Kate Miller-Heidke, Eddie Perfect, Nazeem Hussain, Christie Whelan Browne, Geraldine Hickey, Kween Kong, Hannah Conda and Susie Youssef.
“It’s the time of year when I buy too many suits, Joel buys too much champagne, and we both buy ourselves more time on stage,” Rhys Nicholson says.
“I'T'S BEEN A YEAR! AM I RIGHT?!” Joel Creasey says. “But I do love my best friend Rhys Nicholson, the spirit of Christmas. . . And attention! So what better way to kick off the festive season than coming to see me and my best bish hosting a night of Christmas filled frivolity and fun. Surprise guests! Not-remotely-safe-for-broadcast stories! The perfect stocking stuffer for the ones you love... or those that really need to cheer the F up!”
