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.

“Quite unlike anything else I’ve seen in almost 20 years of covering the Fringe...witty, warm, perfectly judged.”

★★★★★ Telegraph

 “A genius-level comic doing what he does best.”

★★★★★ Time Out Melbourne

“An hour or two of our limited span on Earth in his uplifting, witty company is time excellently spent.”

★★★★ ½  Chortle

“One of the most genuinely joyous presences in comedy”

★★★★ The Times

“This is a stand-up operating at the very top of his game.”
