As well being a regular at many of the major comedy fringes and festivals such as Edinburgh, Adelaide, Perth, Brighton, Melbourne, New Zealand, Singapore and Hollywood he has performed all over Europe, Australia, Southeast Asia and North America.In 2015, whilst touring in Australia, Nik was asked to pass on the knowledge he has acquired from his many experiences as a globally well-travelled comedian. This inspired him to begin doing his own courses and workshops so he could start people on their comedy journey, build confidence and get an insight into the world of live stand-up comedy. Since then, as well as the touring with shows, he has taught at classes all over the UK, Europe and Southeast Asia.Amazingly funny stories, wickedly clever insights and a sense of fun that will drag anyone in. Super funny, super fun and charisma up the wazoo, Nik's awesome! ★★★★ 1/2 - Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2009"A rapid fire non-stop act full of energy. His hour went so quick, his charming smile and easy manner had the audience eating out of his hand and wanting more. Go and see him" ★★★★ 1/2 - Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2006"Fast and funny...The audience loved it...Sweetly, wildly hilarious" ★★★★ - Rip It Up, Adelaide Fringe 2014Course Reviews"Recently went to his stand-up course for beginners at a point in my life where I was really struggling and all I can say is DO IT!!!No matter where you are in your life, how shy you are or how funny you think you could be you'll take something precious away from this course.I felt like I was meeting myself for the first time and would happily do it all over again. Also Niks standup shows are hilarious so if you can support this man in anyway do it as I promise you won't regret it" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(Iain Donald, Inverness, Scotland)"Nik Coppin was an amazing coach... It was such great fun" - Wayne Chalmers, Northampton"Nik is a brilliant tutor. The course was good value, informative and very educational. Nik's friendly approach calmed any nerves we had, it was obvious he knows his stuff, he had the ability to analyse our work very effectively. Nik is very experienced and kindly shared many anecdotes and experiences with the class. I've come away learning a few new processes and a good insight to the stand-up industry" - Raj Kukadia, London, UK"I recently took part in a stand up comedy beginners course at the farm which was brilliant, the venue was a nice unique place, Sarah was so friendly and welcoming and Nik was a great teacher for the weekend.I'd suggest anyone with any interest of starting comedy to 100% give the course a go" - James Abernethy, Northampton"The comedy course with Nik was absolutely fantastic. In just 2 days I went from an quivering anxious on-stage mess to a confident new stand-up at the final showcase. Some people even laughed!Nik’s course has given me the confidence to continue and perform at more shows and I am now regularly performing spots both in Spain and the UK including Brighton &amp; Edinburgh Fringes!I would thoroughly recommend Nik’s courses to anyone thinking about getting into stand-up comedy" - Lucy Amans, Estepona, Spain"Nik Coppin's two-day comedy course in October 2022 was a transformative experience, a skill-enhancing journey that goes beyond mere comedy. It's a course for all, aiming to inspire confidence, improve communication, and inject humour into everyday life.With his rich global experience, Nik's anecdotes added unique charm, offering insights into both comedy and life. Post-course, I've noticed enhanced confidence and a more methodical style of speaking, enabling me to connect with people more effectively.Though I'm not the next big comedy star, I've become tangibly funnier, and the laughs during my social interactions have noticeably increased. The course also offered a supportive network of passionate people, aiding learning and fostering enduring relationships.It's not a magic potion for instant comedy stardom; comedy, like any art, requires time and practice. But it does equip you with tools to make your journey in comedy, and life, more interestingIn conclusion, if you're looking to improve your public speaking, boost your confidence, or even just bring a bit more laughter into your life, Nik Coppin's stand-up comedy course is a worthwhile investment. The tangible benefits I've gained have helped me not only in comedy but in many more areas of life" - Katie Rowlands, Estepona, Spain"Amazing course. Had a lot of fun. I learnt some great tips about comedy that will help me far into the future. Nik’s energy is as electric as Jamie Foxx in Spider-Man.You’d be a fool to not grab the opportunity to do this course. You’ll meet some awesome people, I mean what else can you ask for?" - Liam Wilcox, Brighton, UK"Nik’s course was a really fun 2 days. I laughed from start to finish and met some great like minded people. I learnt so much about the comedy industry, gigs and the circuit."The best thing was how generous Nik is with his input, experience and time. His advice and tutoring has taken me from an unsure total novice to confident amateur wanting more stage time in just one weekend. I have learnt so much about writing, editing, performing and what I can bring. Do yourself a favour; book in this course" - Charlotte Madden, Hove, UK“For everyone going on this course, you’re going to have a great time. I really enjoyed it - met some great and funny people and to have the benefit of Nik’s experience is superb. Really well structured too; from being a bag of nerves, you soon relax because of the atmosphere created and have a brilliant time. It gave me the confidence then to go and carry on performing!” - Nick Tarlton, Benalmádena, Spain“I had always wanted to try stand up comedy but never quite knew where to start. This course is the perfect way to get into it. Before the course I was a bag of nerves thinking I could never get on stage and put myself out there like that. A few days later I was performing in front of a crowd and loved it! Nik gives you all the tools you need, from writing jokes to then delivering them on stage, and some very handy and important do’s and don’ts. I’ve since performed a bunch of times and continue to improve based on notes I took from this course. Even if you’re a fan of comedy but don’t plan on taking it any further, this course gives you an insight into an interesting and captivating art form. You’ll also meet some interesting and likeminded people and have lots of fun along the way!” - Ben Lynch, Gibraltar  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/62276d90-e244-11f0-983f-3f1406156a47-rimg-w740-h740-dc060606-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/6992d790-e244-11f0-983f-3f1406156a47-rimg-w768-h740-dc13262d-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/71082ca0-e244-11f0-983f-3f1406156a47-rimg-w555-h740-dc06132b-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/73c4dba0-e244-11f0-983f-3f1406156a47-rimg-w951-h740-dc2c2d32-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/78d31bc0-e244-11f0-b1e5-fb8d04c0193d-rimg-w1107-h740-dc7c7260-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/7cde6ad0-e244-11f0-820b-e5e04fbe28e9-rimg-w1109-h740-dc1e2e29-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/87249320-e244-11f0-983f-3f1406156a47-rimg-w555-h740-dc2e3132-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/8bc56b70-e244-11f0-820b-e5e04fbe28e9-rimg-w860-h740-dc171617-gmir.jpg https://youtu.be/0Qbd8eveb0E  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/8fd91ef0-e244-11f0-820b-e5e04fbe28e9-rimg-w987-h740-dc31302f-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/921664c0-e244-11f0-820b-e5e04fbe28e9-rimg-w987-h740-dc191716-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/948038d0-e244-11f0-820b-e5e04fbe28e9-rimg-w987-h740-dc31302e-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/983a5aa0-e244-11f0-b1e5-fb8d04c0193d-rimg-w987-h740-dc302f2e-gmir.jpg
