Event Series Event Series (See All)

Nick Sun was a professional international comedian for 13 years, winning JJJ Raw comedy, UK’s So You Think You’re Funny, appearing on television and comedy festivals around the world and performing across United Kingdom, Scandinavia, South East Asia, America and Australia.
Grappling with depression and addiction, in 2015 he drank Ayahuasca and went through an extended healing crisis/ spiritual awakening.
Realising he had some serious demons to deal with, Nick quit standup to embark on a seven-year deep dive into the world of healing, and began training and working as an underground psychedelic facilitator for the next seven years, serving Ayahuasca in the Australian underground plant medicine scene. Nick guided over 2000 individual experiences and served everyone from bus drivers to doctors, psychologists to cops.
In 2023 his plant medicine journey came to an end and he was called to return back to standup comedy to write a show about his experiences, as well as publishing his first book, ‘No Mo Trippin’ which he wrote during his most intense years of plant medicine work (2015-2018).
After performing nationwide over the last 20 months, ‘Clown, Shaman, Wanker’ is an irreverent distillation of his healing journey during these times of great change.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR

Born into a Himalayan Circus family, Nick burst onto the scene in 2004 after winning both JJJ RAW Comedy and UK’s highly esteemed, ‘So You Think You’re Funny’ competition.
Nick spent the next 12 years touring the world and honing his craft.
In 2015, he drank Ayahuasca and went through a healing crisis. Realising he had some serious demons to deal with, Nick quit standup to embark on a seven-year deep dive into the world of healing. He began training and working as an Ayahuasquero, publishing his first book, ‘No Mo Trippin’ about his experiences.
In 2024 he returned to comedy to write a show about it.
Nick is a favourite amongst top comedian’s comedians. Supporting Marc Maron, touring with Doug Stanhope and having his show ‘Dreamfist’ recommended by Daniel Kitson.
His stream-of-conciousness style combined with his charismatic stage presence makes him a truly original, cliche-free comedian like no other.
