Mark Watson is one of the most talked-about British comedians to emerge in recent years.

Award Winner

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.

Marathon Comedy Man

Despite all this he is perhaps best known for two marathon shows at the last two Edinburgh festivals, lasting respectively 24 and 33 hours. At the end of the 2004 show, he proposed, successfully, to his girlfriend (now wife). His first novel, Bullet Points, came out in 2004 to great acclaim and the next, A Light-Hearted Look At Murder, in Summer 2007. He has appeared on numerous TV and radio shows and has appeared on his own Radio 4 show on Tuesdays at 6.30 - 'Mark Watson Makes The World Substantially Better'.
