Mark Watson: Before It Overtakes Us

Event details

20 years in stand-up for the ‘Taskmaster’ cheeky texts icon, multi-award-winner, YouTube cult figure, Radio 4 favourite and recently ‘Baby Reindeer’ actor. Watson returns after seasons at the Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Edinburgh comedy festivals. A recent encounter with a stranger caused Mark to spend some time pondering the uncertain future facing humanity. He explores this – along with equally pressing matters like the worst word he has ever said in public, the current state of the UK sausage industry, and much more – in a typically frantic and fun-packed new show.

★★★★★ ‘A genius-level comic doing what he does best’ Time Out Melbourne

★★★★★ ‘Quit unlike anything else I’ve seen in almost 20 years of covering the Fringe… witty, warm, perfectly judged’ Telegraph
