News and Reviews for this Show

August 21, 2024    One4Review

Nathan Cassidy is funny. Very funny. That is not in doubt. To call him a veteran of the comedy circuit would be doing him a massive disservice, primarily because longevity doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve been good all the time.
Tonight, he is on fire.

Life circumstances mean he’s living back at his mum’s house and he’s at his lowest ebb, listening to Phil Collins songs, and questioning his life choices. However out of desperation comes inspiration that with the lows great art can be created (just like Phil). Plus in his new abode his 1960’s loving mother brings up small tit bits about her life that doesn’t add up. What did she get up to in the swinging sixties and what secrets are potentially going to come to the surface?

In this framework Nathan expertly takes us on this journey. This is not a pity party, jokes come left right and centre all in the audience can relate to.
“Took my daughter to Taylor Swift. I had restricted view in a car park”.

Where he’s strongest is interaction with the audience and his timing is spot on as we are working up to the question about what secret is his mother hiding.

Go watch a master of the genre weave his tales and Against All Odds his love for Phil Collins. Click Here For Review

Brighton Fringe Review

Great art comes out of great pain, or so says Cassidy in International Man Of Mestory: a comedic retelling of crying in bed after losing the love of your life (and staying with your mum for a week). And this show really does prove it; it's in his eyes—I oft wonder whilst watching Cassidy just how close to the truth his comedy is. Does he wonder if anyone stays together anymore? Two-time winner of Seagull's Fringe Friday best standup, Cassidy delivers once again with the play-by-play of making small talk with his mum and his love of Phil Collins. Go and see him! It's the least you can do. Click Here For Article
