A stand up comic for more than eight years, Nik Coppin has performed all over the world.
As well as a regular on the UK comedy circuit and performing in many European countries such as France, Germany, Spain, Austria and Denmark, he has also performed as far afield as New Zealand and all over Australia.
It was here that Nik performed his debut solo show at the prestigious Melbourne International Comedy festival in 2006 before taking it to Edinburgh and then following up his success in The Antipodes with more sell-out shows in the Melbourne and New Zealand festivals in 2007 and 2008. He was also a feature act at Melbourne’s most prestigious club for the entire run of festival, as well as a part of The Best of British show.
His confident, affable and energetic style of comedy is quick to build audience rapport, as he talks about subjects as wide-ranging as observations on human nature, his experiences in the Antipodes, Europe and Asia, his extensive knowledge of wildlife, current affairs and his mixed race up bringing in London.
As well as becoming one of the most professional acts on the comedy circuit, his versatility has also made him a much sought after compere. He has the ability to adapt to a multitude of audiences and is skilful and amiable enough put them immediately at ease.
