  • Queer Youth in Straight Spaces: Tactics of Survival
    Queer Youth in Straight Spaces: Tactics of Survival Author Buttigieg, Bob Published 2018-03 Thesis Type Thesis (PhD Doctorate) School School of Hum, Lang & Soc Sc DOI https://doi.org/10.25904/1912/1869 Copyright Statement The author owns the copyright in this thesis, unless stated otherwise. Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/380562 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au Queer Youth in Straight Spaces: Tactics of Survival Robert Buttigieg BA, BA (Hons) School of Humanities, Languages and Social Science Arts, Education & Law Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2018 ABSTRACT This thesis draws from interviews conducted between late-2012 and mid-2013 as an ‘intimate insider’ (Taylor 2011) with twenty one young queer people living on the Gold Coast, Australia, at the time we spoke. It also draws from my own autoethnographic stories about growing up queer on the Gold Coast. Through these stories of self and others, I map out shared and unique experiences of youth, queerness, and the local setting of the city of Gold Coast, in order to identify and interrogate ‘tactics’ – in de Certeau’s (1984) sense – of survival: everyday means of ‘getting by’ in spaces that are ordered (built, controlled) by dominant forms of power (viz. ‘strategies’). These tactics provide a window into the effects and affects produced in/on young queer people by heterosexed public space and by those individuals and institutions that underwrite and authorise explicit and implicit forms of violence against us. The collection of survival tactics compiled herein, which is neither complete nor authoritative (due to the nature of tactics as products of necessity and creativity), is also in a sense an ‘instruction manual’ for young queer people who might read this thesis and draw inspiration from these everyday means of getting by, to develop their own tactics of survival.

  • Joel Creasey
    JOEL CREASEY “Creasey is an unstoppable force and the crown prince of Aussie comedy.” - The Daily Telegraph Joel Creasey is one of Australia's most-popular, acclaimed and charmingly controversial stand-up comedians. A self-described shameless "fame whore", Joel has become a television staple in Australia. This year alone, Joel has captained his team to (occasional) victory on the first season of Channel Ten’s newest studio-based comedy series, Show Me The Movie!, along with enemy-captain Jane Harber and host Rove McManus. Ten Network has just announced a second season. Joel also made his soap star debut on one of Australia’s favourite TV shows, Neighbours. It was recently announced that Joel shall be Australia’s newest and frankly loosest, cupid – hosting the worldwide phenomenon dating show, ‘Take Me Out’, on Network Seven. To add to a very busy television year, Joel was chuffed to see his stand up special, recorded at the esteemed Sydney Opera House, air on Network Ten. A prestigious honour that not many stand-up comedians have achieved. Landing the much coveted role as co-host of SBS’s ‘Eurovision Song Contest’ alongside Myf Warhurst in 2017, Joel and Myf returned in 2018 for the global event described as the Olympics of song contests. Joel caused international headlines this year during his commentary, when a stage invader attempted to grab the microphone during the UK’s performance. Reacting without hesitation, Joel said “what an absolute cockhead”, a quote that immediately went viral worldwide. Even JK Rowling heard the quote and instantly praised his candour, awarding him an ‘Order of Merlin First Class’, a title only held by 11 people in the world (yes, it’s really a thing and Joel’s proudest achievement to date).

  • Film & Tv Live Shows Nice Things People
    Comedian. Writer. Craft Enthusiast. Razor sharp, daring and downright lascivious, Rhys Nicholson is a wit quickly gaining international acclaim. After winning Best Newcomer at Sydney Comedy Festival in 2012, Rhys has gone on to perform all over the world, including Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Dublin’s Vodafone Comedy Festival and London’s prestigious SOHO Theatre, garnering audience and critical praise. They also quite liked his nice jackets. It’s been a huge few years for Rhys, his most recent solo show Seminal has had great success both in Australia and overseas taking out the Best International Show Award at the 2018 New Zealand International Comedy Festival. This was after a tremendous 2017 in which Rhys picked up an ARIA nomination for Best Comedy Release for his filmed special ‘Live at Darlinghurst Theatre’. Rhys has also received a nomination for the illustrious Barry Award for his 2016 show ‘Bona Fide’. Aside from gaining huge acclaim for his solo shows, Rhys publicly married lesbian and fellow comedian Zoe Coombs Marr at the 2016 Melbourne International Comedy Festival to highlight the importance of marriage equality in Australia. He was also the subject of an Archibald Prize finalist by Melissa Ritchie entitled ‘Rhys Smart Mouth’. Rhys has plastered his jagged face all over Australian TV - chatting candidly to the Prime Minister about red heads (and other things) on Ch10’s The Project, a panellist on the new comedy show CRAM, co-host with Joel Creasey of ABCTV’s celebrated documentary GayCrashers, appeared on Dirty Laundry Live, Hughesy We Have A Problem and on Channel 7 Morning Show’s Style Squad.
