Kate Copstick April 2018

​
'Such a safe pair of hands...  There's a smart mischief to the material... piercingly sarcastic jibes' 
Steve Bennett, Chortle Oct 2017

'In a beautifully structured hour of comedy, Cassidy was brave and generous - and having seen Bill Hicks I can honestly say that he is as good as him.' Man in the Arena BuxtonFringe.org.uk review
  • Fringe Guru ★★★★ Review for Deep 'An audacious high-risk strategy. Very clever and very good indeed'★★★★ Fringe Guru​
A great comedian.  His rapport with the audience is instant and constant… Nathan Cassidy seems like becoming a firm favourite 
★★★★ Broadway Baby

'Nathan Cassidy offers comedy fare that fits right in at the Fringe, a mixture of social observation, wordplay, ranting and anecdotal amusement.' Broadway Baby 2016

'The audience loved it. Tonight’s performance inspired me to liken the comedian to one of the greats.  Cassidy’s creation also has one of the most novel finales to have ever graced the Fringe. I sense a rising star in our midst.' ★★★★ Mumble Comedy - 42 - Edinburgh Fringe 2016


Timing and delivery flawless  North West End @ The Manchester Comedy Store 2016

"Awesome gig... Cassidy creates great energy on the stage, building an immediate rapport with the audience which continues throughout the show.  Cassidy hits it on the nose... a must see show."
★★★★ www.coolasleicester.co.uk for Back to the Future 2015


Great jokes with an easy, confident manner.  Cassidy seems to have a real commitment to making intelligent shows about fun ideas
Fringe Guru
