Mark Watson (England)

Back in 2009 with his new show - All the thoughts I had since I was born!

“He stood out in the way you imagine John Cleese or Peter Cook must have done in their day.” The Times, UK

English comedian, Mark Watson continues to establish his reputation as one of the hottest new talents on the global festival circuit. He sold out both his 2007 and 2008 seasons at the NZ International Comedy Festival in Auckland, with most of the seats sold prior to his arrival here.

Yet he has had little if any exposure in the mainstream media. Such is the power of new media as Watson enjoys an avid following on the internet.

Due to public demand Watson is back in New Zealand this time at the much larger SKYCITY Theatre for 5 nights followed by his debut in Wellington for a 5 night season at the San Francisco Bath House.

And his local fans can look forward to yet another new show entitled ‘All the thoughts I’ve had since I was born’, performed in just 60 minutes!

The rough theme is that Mark Watson's fretful attitude to life and his obsession with minutiae has resulted in him being taken to hospital with chest pains. Well, that’s what the doctor blamed it on, anyway. And advised him to avoid stress.

Ah, the irony inherent in advising a comedian to take life less seriously.

As usual, Watson’s show will consist of a large number of jokes and stories delivered very fast, in a distinctive accent, with a rambling style, by a thin man

“A stand-up superstar, a classic observational humorist.” Time Out, USA
