Nathan Cassidy: The Unbearable Tragedy of Being Happy

Just the Tonic @ The Cross, Leicester • Saturday 6 February 2027 • 18:00

Nathan Cassidy is happy. This is a disaster for his stand-up career. We need our comedians troubled, tortured and preferably mid-breakdown - not content in a loving relationship. So the critically acclaimed, multi-award winning star and host of million downloaded podcast Daily Notes attempts the impossible: a stand-up show about being unbearably happy. There may have to be scenery. Lighting changes. It may have to go in the theatre section.

But can happiness survive the state of the world, and Nathan’s own determination to ruin it? And can one happy man offer genuine hope to a roomful of strangers? An ambitious new comedy about love, hope and finding light in the darkness.

★★★★ “One of only a handful of acts at the Fringe where the word auteur can apply… when the output is this good, no one can touch him.” One4Review 2026

★★★★ “Thought-provoking, risk-taking and very funny.” The Real Chrisparkle 2026

“Cassidy is a cocky performer; he always has a big smirk on his face as he expertly controls the room.” Entertainment Now 2026

“Great, really great. Big laughs, big thoughts to consider.” The Write Angle 2026

“The funny comes thick and fast in this outstanding show” Fringe Review 2026
