Mark Simmons and Friends

Winner of Dave’s Best Joke of the Fringe 2024, Mark Simmons presents a brand new work-in-progress show as he gears up for his latest tour. You’ve seen him on Mock The Week, BT Sport, and ITV, but now Mark is bringing his trademark wit to the stage with fresh material, alongside three comedians handpicked by Mark.

Known for his brilliantly crafted jokes and impeccable timing, Mark has earned a reputation as the “master of the crisp, clean, one-line zinger” (Evening Standard). Whether he's riffing on everyday absurdities or delivering expertly constructed punchlines, you can expect a show packed with laughs and plenty of surprises. Mark was a semi-regular on BBC2’s Mock The Week, joining Dara O’Briain and Hugh Dennis, and his last show, Quip Off The Mark, has toured over 200 venues, selling more than 20,000 tickets. He’s also a familiar face on BT Sport’s DIY Pundit and The Football’s On. Outside of stand-up, Mark is making waves with his hit podcast Jokes With Mark Simmons, where he chats with fellow comedians like Gary Delaney, Sarah Millican, and Milton Jones about the jokes that didn’t quite make the cut. Don't miss this chance to see one of the sharpest joke-tellers in the business as he road-tests new material ahead of his next tour!
