About the show
Nathan Cassidy is happy, and 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 the million-downloaded podcast Daily Notes attempts the impossible: a stand-up show about being unbearably happy.
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. Don’t miss this unique comedy experience!

'The best show at this year's Fringe... A classic, structured rollercoaster Fringe hour... star in waiting... he is untouchable.' ★★★★
Bruce Dessau, The Times
An extraordinary story richly accessorised with laughter. The best live comedy I have seen this August.'
Kate Copstick, The Scotsman '
'Well-crafted, very original and very funny… one of the most original show endings I have seen. Clever, articulate… sometime scathing and cynical, but also touching and hopeful. Highly recommended.’ FringeReview.co.uk
