Event information
NICK PAGE
He used to present 'Escape to the Country' you know.
Nick got into comedy for a bet, he's still not sure if he won. He turned professional 4 months after his first open mic appearance, helped by working with Steve Coogan's 'Baby Cow' production company and an approach from the BBC who needed someone with a knowledge of property and a bit of life for a new series. That offer turned into 3 series of 'Escape to the Country', which attracted daytime audience share of over 30% and moved to prime time.
His material is a surprising mixture of cynical observation and storytelling, drawing on his useless degree (International Politics and Far Eastern History) and inability to do a proper job (he was an estate agent but is mostly cured). He is quite tall, some would say very tall, but that may be hyperbole. His brother holds the record for throwing a Wellington boot (292 feet)
"the funniest thing I've seen all year" Mitch Benn
"managed to combine a ready wit with his extensive knowledge" The Stage
" a very fine man" Jo whiley, Radio 1
