Nick is a writer who has been living in London for three years, covering
film, theatre, music and food in all the various forms that London has to
offer. What Nick finds intriguing about London is the real possibility to
determine the sort of city in which one lives. For although it seems
hectic, loud and a little overwhelming, it is malleable enough to allow
people to make their own mark. Nick is also part of a sketch group that
writes and performs comedy, a lot of which can be found at
