Nathan is the host of global hit podcasts Psycomedy and Daily Notes pushing one million downloads and star of Amazon Prime specials ‘Bumblebee’ and ‘Observational’. In Nathan’s critically acclaimed, word of mouth hit show ‘Observational, everyone was talking about the magical surprise hidden within. Will these shows have another, or is it just bits of unconnected comedy with no heart and no soul? You’ll have to see them to find out!
Nathan Cassidy is an award-laden comedian with a multitude of accolades in the last 3 years. Nathan was nominated for Best Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival 2020 and was the only live performer at the Edinburgh Fringe the same year, and his show Bumblebee was a total sell out at the Edinburgh Fringe 2021 and was nominated for 3 awards that year including an Off West End Stage Award. In 2022 Nathan won best standup at the Brighton Fringe and was also nominated for best show at the Buxton Fringe for the 7th time, and in 2023 he picked up the best standup award at The Brighton Fringe again.
Nathan says ‘I wanted to do shows this year with depth, heart and soul, but I don’t think the audience wants that any more! They just want bits, TikTok ready bits of comedy. So here they are – 29 bits in ‘Amnesia’ and 50 bits in ‘Fifty’. But it’s the hardest thing for me, someone that is constantly seeking connection and soul. That’s the thing that is seeping away – soul. Maybe somewhere in one of these show I’ll find some soul. Maybe together we’ll find something truly magical and uplifting… maybe!’
