| August 5, 2024 Entertainment Now | | And She Said Yes…. Comedy Fan Proposes to Long Time Girlfriend in Free Festival Show ‘Shaggers’ | | Free Festival stalwart Nik Coppin helped a comedy fan propose to his girlfriend in his comedy show Shaggers on Saturday night.Riaz Karim got down on one knee to ask girlfriend Angharad Campbell to marry him… and she said yesAudience members clapped and cheered and the bar manager of the Three Sisters venue rushed off to find a bottle of champagne.Host Nik Coppin said: “They’ve been coming to Shaggers for a few years now and it’s one of their favourite shows on the Fringe.“Riaz got in touch with me and said he had got this idea to propose to Angharad at Shaggers – and I said to him: ‘Are you sure’?”Brighton-based Coppin has been running Shaggers since 2008. The popular late night show features a line up of comics telling material about sex.“I got them both up on stage with the pretence that I needed a couple to try out a new bit of material. “I asked them a couple of questions, then Riaz said: ‘I’ve got something I want to ask you.’In front of the Saturday night Free Festival crowd he said: “We’ve been to this show about eight times. We had one of our first dates here, and every time we come back I love spending this time with you.“You are the most beautiful, wonderful person in the world. Will you marry me?”The bride to be said yes – and accepted a ring her boyfriend had been hiding in his pocket.The proposal was photographed and filmed by members of the audience who were standing on chairs and cheering.Coppin said the couple, who live in Edinburgh, had been together for several years: “She knew he was going to propose but she expected it to be on a beach or on a hill somewhere. Riaz came up with this idea so it would be a surprise.”Sharing the footage on social media Brighton based Coppin said it was: “A truly momentous, delightful and brilliant thing. It’s been a nice wee start to the Free Festival this year but the marriage proposal at Shaggers was totes amazing and will be hard to top.”https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/shaggers Click Here |
