Nick Doody has been performing comedy since the 90s when, as a student, he got off to a pretty good start by supporting the legendary Bill Hicks on his final tour of the UK…Bill himself had requested Nick.  A little later, Nick was a finalist in Channel 4’s So You Think You’re Funny? competition.

Since then he has performed all over the world: Ireland, France, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, The Netherlands, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Estonia… You get the idea. He was the first British comedian to perform in Croatia.

Nick has appeared on various radio and TV shows and is also in great demand as a writer. He has written jokes for Joan Rivers, Lenny Henry, Dame Edna Everage and an uncomfortable number of Mock The Week regulars. He was also the creator and head writer of Bigipedia, a critically acclaimed Radio 4 show that broadcast in 2009 and 2011.

Nick’s radio and TV credits as a performer include contributing to shows such as Comedy Map of Britain (BBC2),  Comedy Cuts (ITV), 28 Acts in 28 Minutes (Radio 4), The Mark Thomas Comedy Project (Channel 4), The Now Show (Radio 4) and Comic Side of 7 Days (BBC).

In 2006, Nick performed his first solo Edinburgh Festival show Before He Kills Again. The show received rave reviews and sold out for the whole festival, leading to a run at the Soho Theatre. Since then, Nick has written and performed another eleven solo hours of stand-up, of which two, Nick Doody vs the Debonair Assassin & Interesting Times, were recorded as DVDs.

Nick has been tour support for Dave Gorman on three tours of the UK and Ireland, for Ed Byrne on hisWarming Up in The Cold tour, and was part of the Best of British package show at the Adelaide Fringe in 2020, which was a blast up until it coincided with the start of a global pandemic.
