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 the Edinburgh Fringe. He followed up his antipodean success with more sell-out shows 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 showcase.

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 upbringing 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.

“highly entertaining” TimeOut

“imaginative material … the banter is slick and engaging. He goes off on the sorts of wild tangents much loved by mssrs Izzard and Noble … immensely likeable and refreshingly uncynicle” Chortle

“it’s refreshing to see a comic whimsically meander wherever he fancies … there are some real gems in here and an easy-going delivery that’s far harder to pull off than great gags written from the comfort of your home computer” 4Laughs

“a rapid, non-stop act full of energy. His hour went so quickly, his charming smile and easy manner had the audience eating out of his hand and wanting more … 9 out of 10” Melbourne Comedy Festival

“Coppin sets a new benchmark for international comedy” Pun Magazine, Melbourne

“charmed our audiences … scoundrelously funny” Classic Comedy Club, New Zealand

“there is absolutely nothing to dislike about Coppin as a performer” Chortle
