Originally from Ilkley in Yorkshire, Nick started promoting events shortly after moving to Bath in 1997. A regular at Edinburgh Fringe since the turn of the century, Nick brought many comedic talents to Bath before taking over the fledgling Bath Comedy Festival as Director in 2010, having been involved in the organisation booking the comedy acts since it began. He has grown Bath Comedy Festival from a weekend event into a fully fledged 3-week festival utilising multiple venues and featuring hundreds of acts.
Nick also runs other comedy events throughout the year, including regular Bath Comedy Club shows in different venues, various tour shows and one-off productions, and tour manages US comedian Doug Stanhope's UK dates.
Outside Bath Comedy, Nick wears a few different hats and has had several other entertainment roles.
He is proud of his local area - as Deputy Manager of his local pub The Ram in Widcombe, and has been helping build the pub up to its current form, with top class live bands on Friday nights and a regular Irish session on Sundays.
Nick was also instrumental in designing the new Widcombe Social Club as an arts venue, ran many shows there and was licensee for a number of years before the pandemic, when it was open regularly.
Nick played Hammond Organ, Mellotron and other vintage keyboards in a Prog Rock band, and DJs with wind-up gramophones as The Wind-Up Merchant. As Radio DJ Andy Kershaw commented "You're even more old school than I am!"
