Nick Cody talks about his new stand up show, Come Get Some.

Tell us about your Fringe show

An hour of hilarious stand-up covering everything from my great grandma's dying at 102, being near a car bomb explosion in Afghanistan, my fiance's super power and much more.

Best thing about the Fringe?

A month in Edinburgh with some of the funniest and most talented people from around the world.

Worst thing about the Fringe?

It's a month.

How many years have you been coming to the Fringe?


This is my second year.


Favourite Fringe venue?


Assembly. Because I'm there every night. Gotta love it.



Best Fringe memory?


Selling out shows last year. I'd heard so many negative stories regarding audience numbers, that to fill out my room a bunch of times felt great.

Best heckle?


I don't acknowledge heckles or the terrible people that feel the need to do them. Sit down and let the professional do the talking.



Craziest on stage experience?


Doing a gig on the flight deck of the HMAS Melbourne, off of the coast of Iran. At sunset. Normally, outdoor gigs can be a nightmare, but that was so ace.

What’s on your rider?


Hahahaha. I'm not a rapper. I'm a red bearded idiot from Australia. My rider is whatever I turn up to the venue with. Usually, a bottle of water and a beer.



How do you wind down after a show?


Drink and chat with other comedians.



What do you love about Scotland?


The weather. Seriously. 16 and sunny is my favourite temperature.

What do you like about Edinburgh?


It's a beautiful city with some much culture, old architecture and beautiful pubs (the most important). Also, Arthur's Seat is ace.


What’s the most Scottish thing you’ve done?


To be honest, I don't know what it is to "do a Scottish thing". I was there for a month last year so there is a very good chance I accidently did a few of them.

What kind of jokes do a Scottish crowd seem to respond to?


My ones.



Favourite joke?

Nobody is sad at the funeral of a 102 year old. When they die at that age, you're just happy to find out they weren't a vampire.



Favourite Scottish food/drink?

I had a bunch of beers over there last time that I have forgotten the names of. Most likely due to the number of them that I consumed. I'll have to get back to you on those. Haha.
