I bought a ticket to Nick Cody on something of an impulse as I had a bit of time between Xavier Toby and Wil Anderson's shows.
I went to see Nick Cody based pretty much on hearing (and seeing live) him on The Little Dum Dum Club.
And like Tommy Dassalo and Karl Chandler's shows I had heard some of what was in Nick Cody's show before, the first little teasers of it in various episodes of The Little Dum Dum Club. But now here it was realised into a full show.
I did not get who the man was at the start of his show announcing Nick Cody. Only that it cost him $800 and I think the narrator man had something to do with fighting. Or football.
Anyway.
Nick Cody is the first comedian I've seen where an over arching narrative wasn't really present, there were a few mini-arcs of story. There were also of course some call backs and structure to the show.
As I mentioned in my write up of Xavier Toby's show I do like stories of people in far off places doing something that the rest of the people around them aren't doing - doing something different to them.
So Nick Cody's trip to Kandahar was of great interest to me. He said he went with another comedian (unnamed) and Bliss n Eso. I'd seen Biss n Eso's pictures from their trip there on their instagram/twitter/facebook feeds but I had wanted to know more. Nick Cody and his love of Air Crash Investigations shows provided some extra detail on his trip there.
Mostly about paperwork.
Nick Cody is also the first comedian I've seen who looks like he could bend the mic stand in half, very strong arms, though as he points out quite pale. I am I think as pale as him, so seeing another person who doesn't care about the tanning thing was nice to see.
He also went to lengths to explain his beard was an inner city beard, not the beard of a workman's worker beard or an outback in the woods adventurer’s beard.
All up I enjoyed his show, aside from the announcer / narrator man, the audio was just a little bit too loud and I didn't really get the reference.
I'm glad I went as he's someone who I wouldn't have seen, and without The Little Dum Dum Club wouldn't have even thought about seeing him.
