Who is Rama Nicholas?
Rama Nicholas acts, writes, directs and makes comedy, and is an improviser who performs, directs and teaches improvisation at festivals around the world. Rama's scripted solo shows put a whole cast of characters in one performer's hands, pairing sketch-sized boldness with the shading of drama. In 2014 Rama won Melbourne's Moosehead award for comedy, and was twice nominated for the Golden Gibbo, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival's prize for independent work. At the 2026 ITS Comedy Festival in Sydney, Rama was in the cast of ITS Now or Never, a one-time show joining visitors and local favourites, and taught a workshop there. [1][2][3]
