Over this two-day course, you will learn how to come up with comedy material, to structure and edit your writing, connect with and perform it to an audience. At the end of the course you'll have the option to perform in a showcase in front of a live audience with your new stand-up set.

Your host and tutor will be Nik Coppin, an internationally renowned professional stand-up comedian and producer, who over the last 20 years he has performed with the likes of Michael McIntyre, Sarah Millican, Jimmy Carr, Mickey Flanagan, Reginald D Hunter and Henning Wehn, 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 and 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.

His professionalism, hard work and dedication to stand-up comedy and producing shows also saw him recently win the ‘Spirit of the Fringe’ award at the Brighton Fringe 2024.

Students will also be treated to a few funny anecdotes of Nik's trekking around the world with his idiosyncratic, distinctive style of doing things.

So whether you want to be the next big thing in comedy or impress at your next company meeting, Nik Coppin can give you the skills you need to set you on your journey.
