Nathan Cassidy

[1] After a brief spell on the UK comedy circuit in 2000–01 [2] Cassidy became a regular on the UK Comedy circuit in 2009, and has performed solo shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe every year since 2010 including being the only live performer at the 2020 Edinburgh Fringe which was otherwise cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

[11] His show 'Bumblebee' was featured in several publications as being offered up to be performed at people's houses as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

[16] In an interview with the British Comedy Guide Cassidy said that the show is about 'putting love out into the world, not to anyone in particular', like the public applauding the NHS during lockdown.

In this article Cassidy said how these shows reflected the Back to the Future films which evoke 'not only flying cars and hoverboards but ideas about different stages of life, expectations and disappointments'.

[23] In 2013, Cassidy talked about 'Free Pound' and 'Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner' in a feature Tuesday night interview with Phil Williams on BBC Radio 5 Live, in which he said that how his grandfather saved all his life and then was unable to spend the money he had saved had inspired shows where he was now giving money away.

Nathan Cassidy is a regular host of The Rat Pack stand-up comedy which was a multiple critics choice of Time Out.

[26] It played at the Leicester Square Theatre from 2014 to 2015 and currently has a weekly Friday night residence at the Camden Comedy Club in London.

[30] Guests on Psycomedy have included Marcus Brigstocke, Shazia Mirza, Nick Helm and Stephen Bailey.

In 2012 he produced feature documentary 'I am Orig' which charted a year giving money away; this was shown at the Edinburgh Banshee Labyrinth in August 2012.

Nathan won the Sir Michael Caine Award for new writing in theatre for his play “The Cure for the Common Cold” in 2007.
