More About This Event

Both a dad and a kid himself, around the midpoint of his life, the Taskmaster star and multiple award-winner returns. He’ll consider the search for meaning that we’re all on, with or without Google.

Mark Watson is one of the UK’s most successful comedians, the winner of the Panel Prize at the Edinburgh Fringe (where he has been one of the biggest-selling acts over the past twenty years ), as well as Best Show at the Adelaide and Sydney Comedy Festivals, multiple Chortle Awards, Time Out Comedian of the Year and quite a lot more. His many TV credits include Taskmaster, Live At The Apollo, QI, Have I Got News For You, Would I Lie To You and The Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls. He is also a very familiar voice on Radio 4, where he has been a popular fixture for more than 15 years. He is one-third of the cult YouTube phenomenon No More Jockeys, and currently presents the World Snooker Tour’s podcast. He has written seven novels and co-authored a graphic novel, Dan and Sam, which is now in production with Universal.

Quite unlike anything else I’ve seen in almost 20 years. Witty, warm, perfectly judged.
