"Entertainment you can count on" TIME OUT
Stand Up Comedians
MARK WATSON | Star of Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow
"Watson is one of the freshest, funniest, most likeable and entertaining comics" Metro
“A breathlessly delivered stream-of-consciousness routine that’s as quick-witted as it is utterly frivolous” Telegraph
The winner of numerous prizes including the Daily Telegraph Open Mic Award, Chortle Award for Innovation and Tap Water Award, he has also been nominated for the Perrier Best Newcomer Award, Times/South Bank Breakthrough Award, Commonwealth Writers Prize Best First Novel Award, Time Out Stand-Up Award, and - in April 2006 - Barry Award for the best show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.
Despite all this he is perhaps best known for two marathon shows at the last two Edinburgh festivals, lasting respectively 24 and 33 hours.
He has appeared on numerous TV and radio shows and is currently appearing in his own Radio 4 show on Tuesdays at 6.30 - 'Mark Watson Makes The World Substantially Better'.
Watson performed on episode one of Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow.
“He’s simply exhilarating” Daily Telegraph
“Watson manages to do a stand-up act fuelled by resentment, rage and rudeness, and still come across as enthusiastic, polite and decent. Joyous stuff.” The Independent
