EDINBURGH 2017: BWW Q&A- Nick Cody
Tell us a bit about On Fire.
It's a stand-up show about the fun, simple things in life. For example, my recent wedding, my honeymoon in Vietnam, my deep desire to violently assault people that bring too much luggage on a plane and a 100% true story about my mum getting punched out at a fast food restaurant.
Where have you performed so far?
I just finished the Australian leg of my "ON FIRE" tour. That included Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra & Tasmania.
Outside of this tour though, I've performed everywhere from New York to London to Afghanistan to South Africa. If where you live has a place to do comedy, I've been there or I'm coming real soon.
What sets it apart from other shows at the Fringe?
I'm an alpha male with a show that has no themes.
Who would you recommend comes to see you?
UFC Lightweight Champion, Conor McGregor.
As this is your third Edfringe, what advice would you give to someone going for the first time?
Try to enjoy it. It's the worlds largest arts festival. You've probably got a lot of friends from around the world in town for the month and at the end of the day, you're a performer, not a surgeon/teacher/nurse/solider. The task at hand isn't insurmountable, it's one hour a day of fun in front of nice people. Do the show, have a beer and chill out.
Timings and ticket information for Nick Cody: On Fire are available on the edfringe website.
