The Telegraph (4/5 stars) 125 days ago

the strong ratio of hard-hitting matter to gag-rich mirth is a feat that makes other stand-up look idling and irrelevant.

On the Mic (4/5 stars) 131 days ago

Mark is a Fringe favourite and for good reason. He has been at the forefront of campaigning political comedy and activism for decades and his approach has never waned. Nor, to be superficial for a moment, does he seem to age. He’s also, very, very, funny.
