Mark Dolan Biography
Topics:
- Comedy
Mark Dolan is a comedian, writer and broadcaster. Mark is lately best known for his Channel 4 documentary series which featured the world’s smallest, tallest and hairiest people, as well as the fattest pet! The show was a critical and ratings success and the second series has just been transmitted and third series commissioned. Mark Dolan also hosted the hugely popular Channel 4 comedy show Balls of Steel. Mark is in huge demand as a comedian and as a presenter.
Mark Dolan - Edinburgh Fringe
Mark Dolan's run at the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival was highly successful and critically acclaimed. His one man show, 'I'm Here to Help' is a hilarious combination of stand up and chat. Mark's natural charm and wit helped his show become one of the festival's hits.
In 2006, Mark helped launch More 4 as the host of The Last Word, a late night topical discussion show in which he grilled the great and the good on the day's big stories. Mark has also fronted shows for E4, including its launch comedy series Show Me The Funny, and hosted a spooky series for Channel Five, controversially entitled "Urban Legends".
Mark first came to the public's attention in 2002 after writing and performing in a Comedy Lab entitled The Richard Taylor Interviews. The series which followed has become a landmark in the history of stunt television.
Stand Up Comedian
Mark started as a stand−up comedian in 2000, reaching the final of Channel 4's So You Think You're Funny Competition in his first year of performing. Mark continues to delight audiences across the land with his specky charm, and has a Saturday night residency at Soho's Amused Moose Comedy Club.
With a background in radio, Mark has stayed close to the medium in which his career began. Alongside the aforementioned C4 radio show, Mark is a regular presenter on LBC radio and BBC London, as well as being a panellist on a wide variety of Radio 4 comedy shows. Mark was born in London, where he lives with his wife and son. He is a poor singer, and rather wobbly on a bike.
