Martin Cassidy

Date of birth: 30-11-1965
Date of death: 08-01-2009
Martin Cassidy started out on the North-West open mike circuit in around 1999, having been inspired by watching Tony Hancock and Les Dawson.

He made the final of the 2002 City Life Comedian Of The Year competition and ran his own club in Blackburn, Lock n Load.

He was found dead in his home in January 2008, at the age of 42. A subsequent inquest found that he had accidentally asphyxiated on laughing gas, which he was inhaling while watching pornography on his laptop.

Martin Cassidy – Original Review

Note: This review is from 2002

Review by Steve Bennett

The scope of Cassidy's material is very limited - stretching fom Ready Steady Cook all the way to Can't Cook Won't Cook, with some DIY SOS thrown in for good measure.

It's a dull person whose experience is limited to low-rent TV, and the same applies to comics, even though the topics are, unfortunately, likely to be familiar to most couch potatoes.

In fairness, he does touch upon other subjects - often as the set-up for some basic double entendres - but aside from an inspired look at the Guinness Book Of Records, doesn't really make an impact.
