Just a brilliant comedian providing many belly laughs for a while hour! So funny! Would totally recommend! Shame about the hideous venue..broken seats everywhere and vomit and pee smells everywhere..yuck!

Just pure, proper stand up packed full of jokes. Go in wanting to laugh and have a good time and you will. Mark is pure class. If Monkey Barrell could put him in the proper room though that’d be great- the smell of the hive still haunts me.

I've been seeing Mark perform at the Fringe for the best part of 15 years and like the show's title he is getting better man, and he has never disappointed. The show covers many topics each of them having the sell out crowd in stitches, excellent crowd works and covers some dark topics in such a friendly way you just can't help but be drawn in and find yourself laughing at things you possibly shouldn't! See the show before the Fringe ends, easiest decision you'll make!

Probably the best show I’ve seen at the Fringe this year.
Nelson is one of the most consistent comedians, always covering a broad range of subjects with his dark and sometimes twisted style - ranging from family holidays and football, to working at the Fringe and recent newsworthy events - in such a relatable way, you won’t realise how dark it goes.
Definitely book your tickets for this in advance, as it’s selling out every day, and deservedly so.

Mark was the highlight of our visit to the fringe. Laughed from start to end. We saw plenty of good shows and only Mark got great big belly laughs from the audience. A must see!

Mark is one of the 1st names we look for every year and he never misses. An hour of proper comedy, was engaged from the second he stepped on stage. Do yourself a favour and go see him. How he isn’t a household name is shocking !

Mark is a legend, he lives for stand-up and there is a reason why he sells out so many shows. I wouldn't come up to the Fringe without catching him and hearing his latest takes on life. He is a top bloke as well.

Seen Mark several times now and he never disappoints! Such a natural comedian, you could listen to him all night (just not in the hive! The venue is very warm) one of the best stand up comedians around right now, get your tickets booked!

Absolutely brilliant. I've seen 20 shows in 3 days and this was the funniest. If you dont like edgy crowd works and subjects why go to this type of performer at this time. If you have a bit more fortitude Mark makes it all look so easy. He had a nightmare heckler on the front row and dealt with them perfectly. A real class act who makes jokes with exquisitley timed punchlines. A great show and will definitely see him again.

Mark Nelson is a standout in Scottish comedy. I went to see Mark on his recent headline tour and was not going to miss an opportunity to see him perform again. His crowd work is hilariously sharp, if you are easily offended, grow the #@£! up and go and see him. You shall not be disappointed.

Afraid this was too edgy for me. Some of the subject matter should not be included in comedy.
