Since 1992 Nicholas has focussed on live comedy, writing and performing in several live shows ranging from the solo Glynn with a why? and Crossing the Line, to ensemble pieces like Scat and all that and the often reprised Certified Male written with his regular artistic collaborator Scott Rankin.

He also turned his hand to Shakespeare for the Melbourne Theatre Company's production of Comedy Of Errors, played Major-General Stanley in opera in Essgee Entertainment's 1994 production of Pirates of Penzance, and in the variety productions The Vaudeville Extravaganza (1994) and Oh Come All Ye Stressful (2005).

In the 2000s his Glynn Nicholas Group entertainment company was producing and touring several shows internationally including Certified Male, and the musical Eurobeat: Almost Eurovision directed by Nicholas, which was the top-selling show of the 2007 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and was named the best musical production at the inaugural Music Theatre Matters awards.

Famous quotes containing the word theatre:

    As in a theatre the eyes of men,
    After a well-graced actor leaves the stage,
    Are idly bent on him that enters next,
    Thinking his prattle to be tedious,
    Even so, or with much more contempt, men’s eyes
    Did scowl on gentle Richard.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
