Nathan Cassidy accidentally smashes his own watch on stage

It happened at the Camden Comedy Club in London after Nathan Cassidy had become embroiled in a conversation with someone in the audience whose job was to make sales calls to conference attendees. The tedious nature of the business caused another punter to check their watch, causing the comic to tap his with the microphone in mimicry.

Nathan Cassidy offers charity donations in return for Edinburgh publicity

He has emailed members of the press with the following: "if you/your publication review or preview my Edinburgh shows this year I'll give The Alzheimer's Society £50 per article/review up to £500. My family have been very affected by dementia in recent years, so what better way to tug at the heart strings of the press than with this selfless gesture?! Even if you just mention what I'm doing here with this shameless publicity stunt that's £50 to The Alzheimer's Society. Thank you very much!"

Well, it's funny, I never plan to do any stunts, I genuinely want it all to be about the shows, I'm all about the stand-up. I just get bored and things come to me.
