Grab your grimoire. Loosen your laces. It’s storytime witches!

Yum.

Known for their critically acclaimed solo comedy works and extraordinary character transformations, Rama Nicholas is a real life shapeshifter bringing an entire magical fantasy world to life in a whirlwind performance that is equal parts hilarious, theatrical and delightfully romantic.
Previous recipient of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Moosehead, two time nominee for the prestigious Golden Gibbo Award and multiple Melbourne Fringe Tour Awards recipient, Rama brings a brand-new comedy adventure bursting with side-splitting storytelling that you have to see to believe.
Rama will have you wheezing and weak at the knees as they weave an epic, uproarious erotic tale that will leave you breathless, beaming and utterly bewitched.
