Lawyer Nick takes the Stand

CITY lawyer Nick Davies is to swap the well of the court for the stage of the Stand Comedy Club this week.

The Scottish Legal Awards founder will perform from Thursday to Saturday at the York Place venue and deliver his own brand of humour.

Mr Davies, who teaches other lawyers communication skills, said: "There is nothing more exhilarating than performing in front of a live audience, be it speaking at an international conference or making people laugh at a comedy club. In both cases it's about engaging with an audience and tailoring the act accordingly. I draw my inspiration from watching people and listening to them. I use these for both the comedy act and the 'day job'."
