About this show
Taskmaster cheeky texts icon, multi award-winner, YouTube cult figure, BBC Radio 4's favourite and recently Baby Reindeer actor. A recent encounter with a stranger caused Mark to spend some time pondering the uncertain future facing humanity. After seasons at the Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane Comedy Festivals, as well a huge national tour and a 100% sell-out at last year's Fringe, he brings the show back to Edinburgh for three final performances. 'Unlike anything else I've seen' * (Telegraph). 'Genius-level' * (Time Out). 'One of the most genuinely joyous presences in comedy' (Times).
