Description

'Do I like being gay or should I just get straight conversion therapy?' is the big, bold question that Mark attempts to answer over the course of 45 minutes. Mark was nominated for the BBC New Comedy Awards in 2022 and has gained a sizeable social media following (if that sort of thing interests you, which it shouldn't) with his skits about gay life. 'Catch him now before he shoots off into the comedy stratosphere' (BroadwayBaby.com).

He had the audience eating out of his hand from the moment he set foot on stage. I took a random punt on this show, in a spare hour, and I didn’t stop laughing. Hope to see more from this young man.

Went and seen Mark this evening!

I've followed him on Instagram and I'm a Dirty Laundry listener (his podcast). I can certainly say he lived up to expectations, actually he exceeded them. He had the audience giggling and laughing at every minute.
Great participation and involvement from the room and kept us all engaged throguout. Such a good laugh and definitely worth the money to see his wit and humour in person! Will definitely not be the last time.

Keep up the good work Mark, your killing it! ❤️

Fantastic show. Mark read the room amazingly and involved the audience well. His quirky cheeky humor is a must see if you follow his socials or are looking for a topical gay laugh at the fringe :)

We decided to see this show on a whim after they left a flyer on our table. SO glad we did! Mark is hilarious and we had the best time. Would 100% recommend seeing his show!
