Mark Watson
ABOUT THE SHOW
The skinny, hyperactive Taskmaster and No More Jockeys star returns to his favourite country with a world premiere of a new show. Since he was last over here, he’s been named one of the UK’s ‘Best 50 Comedians of the 21st Century’ by The Daily Telegraph, and at least one of the people above him has since been cancelled.
This year Watson will be considering the strange vulnerability of age, inspired by a harrowing flight on his last visit to Australia.
Also the expectations of others and how they shape our self-regard; the future of humanity; and the strange meeting with a woman called Phoebe.
