Nick Bain is a London-based stand-up comedian with over 200 gigs under his belt, performing across the capital’s comedy circuit. He’s a regular presence on the open mic scene and frequently headlines nights across London, bringing a set that’s sharp, personal, and consistently laugh-heavy.
His comedy draws on queer identity, Irish upbringing, city living, ageing, friendship, and the general chaos of being a self-aware adult in 2026. He has a knack for taking everyday situations — group chats, dating, wellness culture, family dynamics — and stretching them until the absurdity snaps into something both honest and hilarious. There’s always a thread of vulnerability running through the jokes, but it’s delivered with confidence and a raised eyebrow rather than a therapy session.
Nick’s first split-bill show, We Will, Yeah, debuted in March 2025, marking his move from circuit regular to building longer-form material. The show blended tightly written stand-up with looser, conversational moments, setting the tone for a performer who’s comfortable both commanding a room and letting it feel intimate.
On stage, he’s warm but cutting, thoughtful but chaotic — the friend who says what everyone’s thinking, just slightly louder and with better timing.
