Bath Lives - Bath Comedy Festival Special - Nick Page

Fresh from a stint abroad, Nick Page will be bringing his discerning wit and self-deprecating stories to the Bath Comedy Festival 2013. Find out what makes Nick tick in the 60 second interview below.

Describe your show in 3 words...

Many stupid stories.

Have you been to Bath before? If so – what do you like about the City?

I lived there for 3 years, so I have many happy memories.

Where do you get the inspiration for your material?

I just screw up my life and report back.

When did you know you wanted to be a comedian?

I wanted to be a highwayman, this just sort of happened instead.

How do you deal with hecklers? 

With kindness and understanding.

What's been the most memorable gig you've done?  

A couple of days ago I did a gig at one of the forward bases in Afghanistan, we helicoptered in, built the stage, did the gig for 700 royal marines then helicoptered out. Amazing, amazing gig, brilliant audience. I'm still buzzing when I think about it now.

Who are your favourite comedians? 

Morecambe and Wise.

What are the best and worst things about your job? 

The travel - best and worst.

Have you got any hidden talents?  

I'm very handy with a chainsaw.

What's next for you after Bath Comedy Festival? 

Breakfast.
