About the show
Mark Watson is one of the most inventive and beloved comedians working today. A veteran of the Edinburgh Festival with a string of critically acclaimed shows behind him, Mark has become a familiar face on programmes like Mock the Week, Taskmaster, Live at the Apollo and Have I Got News For You. His stand-up is a wonderful mix of quick-fire jokes, brilliantly rambling stories and the kind of offbeat observations that spiral into something unexpectedly hilarious. Slightly chaotic, endlessly funny and always full of surprises, Mark is a master of turning life’s small anxieties into big laughs.
