He has performed many solo shows at the Edinburgh and Adelaide Fringe Festivals, New Zealand and Melbourne International Comedy Festivals, all over Australia and the inaugural Hollywood Fringe Festival in Los Angeles.
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, superheroes, current affairs and his mixed race up bringing in London. His mother is English and his father is from Barbados.
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, observant and affable enough put them immediately at ease.
In addition to this, Nik Coppin is also the creator, producer and MC of the international and hugely popular hit show 'Shaggers', which has experienced sell-out shows in Edinburgh, Adelaide, Melbourne, Darwin and a number of UK cities.
A spin-off of this show is the family friendly show ‘Huggers’, which in less than a year has become extremely popular at festivals in the UK and Australia.
