Book excerpt: Nik Coppin's Comedy World is an entertaining collection of stories from a globetrotting funnyman. This is his first literary offering, as Nik puts down the microphone and picks up a pen to give you a light-hearted insight into the mind and matters of an international stand-up comedian. Read about Nik's connections to Alan Carr, Russell Brand, Cat Deeley and Henning Wehn, along with his hilarious adventures travelling the world's comedy circuit, from 20+ years at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, to Brighton Fringe and throughout the UK and Europe, to the Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne Comedy Festivals and across South-east Asia. These tales of japes, scrapes and close escapes are laugh-out-loud funny! And not only is there a number of amusing anecdotes from his travels around this glorious planet of ours... there's also a selection of cartoons and caricatures drawn by his own fair hand! Nik Coppin's inaugural book is the perfect remedy for these concerning CoVid-19 times.
