Stand up legend, Mark Watson, takes us on a “Search” of his complicated, single dad life. He’s a Fringe regular and incredibly popular with the crowd, in fact he starts off the beginning of the show wandering through the audience having a chat and ushering people to their seats.

Mark’s no longer his kids ‘Search Engine’ as they can Google whatever they want to know, without his input or knowledge. And the outcomes of this are hilarious.

His material comes mainly from his immediate family and his day to day life and he has more than enough witty one-liners keeping us all very amused.

He has a great conversational style of comedy and works the audience beautifully. It’s 23 years since Mark first performed at The Fringe and this show was a total sell out, cementing his place in the Top 50 British Comedians!

Mark is still very much a big kid himself and on the night I saw him with his black & red t-shirt on, he reminded me of 40 year old Dennis the Menace. Go and see this show, you won’t be disappointed.
