NICK WILTY
As a television presenter for the BBC, he has interviewed many major stars including Dennis Hopper, Tom Jones, Sandra Bullock, Robbie Williams, Lulu, Ivana Trump, Guy Pearce and Kylie Minogue to name but a few.
In 2000, he fronted "The Other Side", a C4 documentary, also featuring Eddie Izzard, as the two comedians toured New Zealand. Other TV appearances include "The Comedy Store" and "Live at Jongleurs". Most recently, he joined Armando Iannucci for three out of four of Channel 4's new topical show - "Gash".
"Just three adjectives to describe Wilty - brilliant, brilliant and brilliant." - Chortle
"Unmissable" - Time Out
Nick is known as the "Globetrotting Comedian" for good reason. He has performed on every continent except Antarctica (although he did a show in Tierra Del Fuego!), and has done shows in all major Festivals, including Edinburgh (6 times), Glastonbury (5 times), Auckland (twice), Wellington, Melbourne, Adelaide, Montreal (Just For Laughs), Vancouver, Edmonton, San Francisco, New York, Amsterdam, Cape Town & Hong Kong.
Nick has won several awards, including the Polo Mint Comedy Award, voted by fellow comedians and club owners in England, and Best International Act in San Francisco.
"Wilty is cack funny, his routine is a fluffy kitten that bites like a lion". BEAT, MELBOURNE
"The hit of the Festival" DB MAG, ADELAIDE
"This is possibly one of the best shows you'll see as part of this year's Comedy Festival" & "Warped observations with an edge". INPRESS, MELBOURNE
"One of the top five acts currently wowing them in New York." THE NEW YORKER
"It may be booked out, but try to beg a ticket because this has to be the funniest show at the Comedy Festival. We loved this English comic so much we were sure the next (of the trilogy) would be mud on our shoes." HERALD SUN, MELBOURNE. Rating 27 stars (out of 5)

With a super confident playful personality and oozing charisma, his infectious charm has made him a desirable commodity; Upcoming television and media projects for 07/08 include; Funny Business - Rudi judges new comedy talent in a 4 part series (BBC1wales Jan/Feb 08), Get me the Producer (Ch4-Nov 07), plus a nationwide project with Mediatheme hosting the most comprehensive comedy entertainment system to date.
