Mark Watson
On stage Mark Watson likes to tell little observations about his life. Mark started his professional comedy career in 2002 and that same year won the last ever Daily Telegraph Open Mic competition and presumably was allowed to keep the trophy.
Over the past 6 years, Mark has undertaken marathon shows at the Edinburgh Festival lasting 24 hours or more. In 2004 he did his first 24 hour show, at the end of which he proposed to his girlfriend. In 2006 he performed a 36 hour show and also, with the help of the audience, tried to write a novel over the period of the festival, imaginatively titled Mark Watson, And His Audience, Write A Novel. After all that, Mark can also muster the energy to appear on TV and radio. He has fronted his own quiz show, We Need Answers and also appeared on Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week and Never Mind The Buzzcocks, on which he has been a captain and presenter. Mark has also had shows on Radio 4 and 5 Live.
