Nick Coffman was born in St. Louis and raised on a football field. Like most kids in the taint of the mid-west, Nick thought he would have a long career playing in the pros. He made it onto a division one college football team before two knee injuries sidelined his dreams and identity. By some miracle, his mascot-sized head was spared from any harm.

Now residing in Chicago, Nick writes half-hour comedies featuring hardheaded leads trying to escape the corners they’ve been painted into. With sketch & improv training from Second City Chicago and classes from Roadmap Writers under his belt, Nick made the leap to TV writing and is busy putting reps in on some blank pages. Nick’s pilot “The Death of Blockbuster Video” was a Second Rounder in the 2022 Austin Film Festival.
