Nik Coppin “Mixed Racist”
Nik Coppin
‘Mixed Racist’
Following a bizarre radio interview in 2012, comedian Nik Coppin was labelled racist in a major Australian newspaper. This, as well as many other race-related, hilarious and sometimes shocking experiences, is the inspiration for his new solo show: Mixed Racist.
While staying true to Coppin’s affable, fast-paced, unpretentious comedic roots, Mixed Racist is more anecdotal, relevant and thought provoking than his previous offerings. A show that critics have described as “a series of eye-opening points that smash cultural stereotypes”, “Well worth seeing” and “Brilliantly refreshing”.
Mixed Racist will make you laugh and think. And it will help you see that racism, unlike Nik’s own heritage, isn’t simply black and white.
Mixed Racist tours the Australian comedy & festival circuit during winter/spring 2014:
3 – 9 February 2014: Perth Fringe – www.fringeworld.com.au
14 February – 16 March 2014: Adelaide Fringe – www.adelaidefringe.com.au

The shows that he produces and comperes – the late show Shaggers and the family friendly show Huggers – have proved very popular brands over the years and regularly sell out to festival audiences.
He is currently developing his critically-acclaimed show Mixed Racist, that will tour the UK as well as perhaps the USA and Caribbean after the Australian and New Zealand comedy festivals throughout 2014.
This new show marks a slightly new direction in as much as it is more anecdotal, relevant and extremely thought-provoking whilst not straying too far from his friendly comedic roots.
