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.
Watson has appeared as a panellist on shows including Never Mind the Buzzcocks, QI, Who Said That?, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week, Would I Lie to You? and in Dictionary Corner on Countdown (2023). He has been a contestant on Pointless Celebrities, Richard Osman’s House of Games, Taskmaster, and Celebrity Mastermind.

Meet Gail, Hobby and Salty – three year 11 students about to leave their school days behind them, fighting their anxieties with imagination and theatre.
As their final term nears its end, the trio perform a play inspired by the chaotic first days of their idealistic drama teacher. With only the props of their classroom to hand and just three actors taking on over 20 different roles, Teechers is a tour-de-force of storytelling and the power of live theatre.
Written by John Godber in the 1980s, Teechers is a fast-paced comedy with a vital message about the entrenched inequalities of the UK’s education system that are still as punchy as ever forty years later.

WHALE is a multimedia, alternative comedy special that combines clowning, stand-up, and haiku poetry to explore how far we will go to avoid being honest about our feelings.
Sharing haikus and short stories, Sam is doing everything he can to distract both himself and us from a dark secret. This shapeshifting solo show doesn’t stop for sixty minutes, but how long can Sam keep up this act?
Four actors. Four Shakespeare shows. Endless possibilities.
You – the audience – decide everything, from the play to the performance style. Even which actor plays which part. This hilarious, unpredictable new show, featuring actors whose past experience includes the RSC, Bristol Old Vic, Cheltenham Everyman, Dubai and the West End promises an unforgettable evening of Shakespeare unlike anything you’ve ever seen before!
