COMEDIAN BIOS

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

★ Mark Simmons

“Simmons delivered a lot of excellent funny one liners in a ten-minute set which raced by. I loved his subtle, well-paced delivery and the way he deliberately misdirected the audience using his tone of voice before surprising them with a line which was the last thing they expected…hilarious.”
- Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke

Simmons has recently supported Seann Walsh, Rob Beckett and Rob Brydon on their national tours, as well as one off shows supporting Michael McIntyre, Sean Lock and Jack Dee

“Absolutely hilarious.” The Scotsman ★★★★

“A talented comic with an artisan’s grasp of joke-writing” Chortle ★★★★

“Gags of the highest order” Broadway Baby ★★★★
