About this show
First steps towards next year's show from the Taskmaster star and Fringe veteran. Approximately 50 minutes of amiable standup on the loose subject of standing up for yourself. Mark's credits are many, both in Edinburgh and in the wider context of comedy, but it might be a mistake to get your hopes too high in this case.
