COMEDY TRUCK
As
you wander around The Showman’s Show, why not sit down for 5 minutes
and have a laugh. Comedian Nik Coppin will be presenting short shows
every 20 minutes in the Theatre Truck on Avenue G Stand 261. You’ll
find it next to The Showman's Bar and Restaurant, so grab a drink and come in.
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. But don’t take our word for it read some of his reviews.
