Nik Coppin

Stand-up comedian Nik Coppin has been entertaining audiences all over the world for more than six years. Since giving up his previous life staffing on the London Underground, Nik has performed not only all over the UK but also in France, Germany, Spain and Austria – plus four consecutive years at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and appearances at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival.

Nik’s style is warm, friendly, welcoming and fun … but his good humour belies a dark undercurrent of intelligent, thought-provoking comedy – much of it derived from his mixed-race upbringing (his mother is English, his father from Barbados), current affairs and his encyclopaedic knowledge of wildlife, which was showcased in his debut solo show, “Spiders, Man!”.

Nik can regularly be found on the biggest stages in the country, including Jongleurs where he is a regular compere. His affable nature and ability to bond with any crowd has made him a big hit all over the world.

“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
