About this show
Multi award-winning Fringe legend with a hilarious tale of love, loss and an Ashes cricket miracle. One of comedy’s most original voices. 'Few have been as deeply moving as Nathan Cassidy' (Scotsman). A deeply funny, heart-opening journey through sport, collapse and the strange magic of Christmas – and a bigger question: can stand-up be art? Like the stories his grandad told, this one may only be half true. 13 Best Show wins/nominations since 2019. Star of six specials (three on Amazon Prime), BBC Radio 5 Live and million-downloaded podcast Daily Notes. (Times).
