Gorgeous LGBT light entertainment with perfect Irish wit, softness, sauce, and sadness. I encourage anyone to tag along, sing along and get lost a little with this very busy, very famous, tall queer and his keyboard.

Mark is a phenomenal performer and super famous international cabaret star. He really does live up to his Paddy Daddy name. His gorgeous voice, love for all things camp, and an exuberant energy made me sad when the show finished. I could watch him perform forever. A must see, a standout show for me at fringe.

We had a joyous evening on Tuesday evening (20th) with Mark T Cox and then went to see his show afterwards (hehehe). No, in all seriousness, Mark (who is very very busy and very very famous don't you know) entertained the crowd with tales, humour and irish-infused versions of some of pop's greatest hits with an accent to make you swoooon!

Best comedy show I've seen this year, Mark is hilarious, and the music sing alongs add another great dimension. The time literally flew by...would have loved it to be longer, not often you say that at the Fringe!
Definitely a must see...highly recommend this!

Mark is an amazing performer. He skillfully merged his stories into popular songs that the audience could sing along to. He has a beautiful voice and he entertained the crowd with his filthy humour, charm and cabaret style show.

Mark is such and amazing performer. He has the audience in the palm of his hand for the entire show. This a night of FABULOUS cabaret you wont wanna miss at the fringe. Paddy Daddy 4 life!

Mark is the quintessential cabaret star: warm, welcoming, wickedly funny, with an absolutely filthy mind and the voice of an angel. Bask in his gorgeous Irish glow for an hour of camp, queer, naughty and feelgood storytelling and song.

Cheeky, charming, great singing and good banter - Mark puts on a delightfully engaging show. He’s a natural story teller who is very funny and knows how to look after the crowd - the atmosphere was warm and relaxed with lots of laughs

Been watching & listening to Mark online for years, love his music and style, amazing performance delighted I finally got to see him perform in person. ❤️

Mark owns the stage with a cabaret of beautiful vocals and hilariously salty tales that leave you wanting more. Lilt along, as directed. And maybe, just maybe, he’ll insert your name into the act at least twenty times like he did with mine.

Could have watched three more hours of Mark (or more!). He is such a magnetic stage presence, the storytelling is second to none, and the covers and original songs alike are beautifully performed with unexpected spice and funniness when you least expect it! Mark was totally in command and had the audience in the palm of his hand.

A dirty mind and a beautiful voice! This show is a delightfully queer singalong hour with relatable tales both nostalgic and raunchy.

Camp and funny! I can't believe we have the same taste in "Irish" music. But I hate his first song since I am on team Mariah!

Mark is naturally and gently hilarious. He has exquisite taste in pop songs and knows how to get the crowd going at every turn. Guaranteed laughs and an odd single tear for his brave stories and anecdotes. It was the perfect end to our day of Fringe shows.

Alastair 31 days ago

So funny! So camp! Mark is a natural on stage. I loved it & have recommended it to all my friends! Go & see this! It’s definitely a highlight so far of the fringe for me!

Sinead OBrien 31 days ago

Loved it! Cheeky fun, excellent banter with the crowd and STUNNING vocals. Fun, nostalgic & a delicious big sing along. GO GO GO, on your own, with friends, with a little drink. Just go!

Fantastic show. Dripping with talent, and precise comic timing. The reworking of the music, the unbelievable voice. Not to be missed. One of the fastest shows I have ever put down laughed whole way.

A nostalgia fuelled warm hug of surprisingly tender-hearted filth and raw honesty, ‘Paddy Daddy’ is highly recommended.
