Nick first found his love for acting and entertainment when he was a member of Footlights, Cambridge University’s drama club. Here he performed alongside future stars such as Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis. After completing his studies at Homerton College, Nick became a sports teacher and began practising his hobby of stand-up comedy alongside his teaching.
