2. Melbourne International Comedy Festival - Fire Brand

In 2019, the Schuller family home burned down in the Black Summer bushfires. Like all good comedians, Nick has monetised his trauma and turned his family’s tragedy into an hour of light entertainment.

Fire Brand is the story of Nick’s attempts to capture the fading memories of his childhood home using only the unlikely collection of items that survived the blaze. This is a tale of Captain America, Canesten antifungal cream and some very overcooked chips.

A master of deadpan humour, Nick is as dry as the leaf litter that surrounded his family home. He was handpicked by Melbourne International Comedy Festival to be part of the prestigious Comedy Zone in 2022. He has performed around the country and the world and has supported some of the biggest names in comedy including Tom Gleeson, Cal Wilson and Phil Wang.
