If you asked Mark Watson who he is, he would say he is just a normal person living a normal life in a normal world. However we all know he’s far from just a normal person, in fact, he’s an incredible stand-up Comedian and Author!
Did you know that before his colourful career in Comedy, Mark attended Cambridge University where he became a member of the Cambridge Footlights. He then went on to start his now well establish Comedy career in 2002, and in the same year won the last ever Daily Telegraph Open Mic competition! His witty, and incredibly clever humour quickly won the hearts of many people, and in 2006 he was nominated for the Perrier Award for Best Newcomer and won the first ever Panel Prize at the if.commedies in 2006. That year he was also won the Time Out Critic’s Choice award. Safe to say this award-winning star is much more than a regular guy!
Mark has been the face of shows such as BBC Four’s ‘We Need Answers’ and BBC Radio 4’s Mark Watson Makes The World Substantially Better. He has also appeared on Mock The Week, Celebrity Pointless, Have I Got News For You, Would I Lie To You?, Live At The Apollo and Channel 4’s Comedy Gala. He is currently recording another series of his hit Radio 4 show Mark Watson Talks A Bit About Life.
