Mark Watson

Mark Watson is one of the most talked-about British comedians to emerge in recent years. The winner of numerous prizes including the Daily Telegraph Open Mic Award, Chortle Award for Innovation and Tap Water Award, he has also been nominated for the Perrier Best Newcomer Award, Times/South Bank

Breakthrough Award, Commonwealth Writers Prize Best First Novel Award, Time Out Stand-Up Award, and - in April 2006 - Barry Award for the best show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.

In 2009 he completed a 60-date tour of the UK, Melbourne and New Zealand and won a Fringe First for his interactive Edinburgh show ‘The Hotel’. In the same year Mark also had time to write “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” for BBC4 starring Ruth Jones. He hosted his own Five Live radio show ‘£100 Million or Bust’ as well as TV's ‘Nevermind The Buzzcocks’.
