Nathan Caton is one of the most exciting young comedians on the scene. Gigging since the tender age of 19, over the last 2 decades, he has established himself both as a circuit headliner, and a name on TV and radio.

Within his first few years on stage, he had picked up various accolades and coveted plaudits including the Chortle Student Comic of the Year award and Broadcast Hotshot and written and starred in a pilot for Paramount Comedy (now Comedy Central) entitled The Nathan Caton Show.

Since then, Caton has gone from strength to strength, wowing audiences at comedy clubs up and down the UK, and on his numerous TV and radio appearances, with his delightfully charming blend of personal and political comedy.

He excels in combining both personal and confessional material with up-to-date social and political anecdotes. This has earned him numerous TV and radio credits over the years and has made him one of the hottest headliners on the UK stand-up comedy scene.
