Mark Thomas: 40 in stand up years (Edinburgh warm up)

Mark Thomas celebrates 40 years at the mic. In that time he has changed laws on tax, jailed arms dealers, kick started a comedy circuit in Palestine, given evidence before three Parliamentary select committees and has taken the police to court three times and won. The world’s moving far too fast to predict what the content will be but it is the normal stuff of government and personal mayhem, expect jokes, rants, politics, swearing, staring into apocalypse and possible nudity as he emerges from large cake singing happy birthday mr president.*

*Cake correct at time of publication.

Join Mark as he tries to turn “what the fuck is going on” into a cogent hour of stand up.

Please note this is an Edinburgh warm-up show which lasts one hour. 14+ only
