MARK WATSON: BEFORE IT OVERTAKES US
20 years in stand-up for the 'Taskmaster' cheeky texts icon, multi-award-winner, YouTube cult figure, Radio 4 favourite and recently 'Baby Reindeer' actor: Watson returns after seasons at the Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Edinburgh comedy festivals. A recent encounter with a stranger caused Mark to spend some time pondering the uncertain future facing humanity. He explores this - along with equally pressing matters like the worst word he has ever said in public, the current state of the UK sausage industry, and much more - in a typically frantic and fun-packed new show.

★★★★★ 'A genius-level comic doing what he does best' Time Out Melbourne

★★★★ ½ ‘An hour or two of our limited span on Earth in his uplifting, witty company is time excellently spent' Chortle
★★★★ 'One of the most genuinely joyous presences in comedy' The Times
★★★★ 'This is a stand-up operating at the very top of his game' Independent
