Built around casual conversations and personal stories, tonight Nik Coppin begins his Mixed Racist show asking the audience if he can ditch the microphone. They oblige and instantly a strong rapport, which will only be strengthened over the course of the hour, is established. Coppin, whose mother is English and father is from Barbados, tells of working at a busy London tube station, his introduction to AFL and how a childhood friend turned into a knife wielding street gangster. Beneath the hysterics, his show makes a series of eye opening points that smash cultural stereotypes, as he briefly touches on history, politics and pop culture through first hand experiences. The show culminates in a deadly serious, though comically outrageous story of a law suit in which Adelaide shock jock Peter Goers gave Coppin a negative four star review and labelled him a racist in a newspaper column. Legally, the court's proved the racist claims to be wrong. Tonight, he proved the review to be wrong. Positive four stars!
