Mark Watson: Before It Overtakes Us
20 years in stand-up for the 'Taskmaster' cheeky texts icon, multi-award-winner, YouTube cult figure, Radio 4 favourite and recently 'Baby Reindeer' actor: Watson returns after seasons at the Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Edinburgh comedy festivals. A recent encounter with a stranger caused Mark to spend some time pondering the uncertain future facing humanity. He explores this – along with equally pressing matters like the worst word he has ever said in public, the current state of the UK sausage industry, and much more – in a typically frantic and fun-packed new show.
