Mark Olver: “Say Something” 2007
“Warm and personal but with a real sense of risk…great material
as well, which rings more fun out or describing an endoscopy and
a funeral than it would be reasonable to expect…you’ll be glad
you spent an hour in his company.”
Tom Hackett, Fest Magazine

“Forceful Style and excellent interaction skills.”
Sam Healy, The List

“Big , warm and engaging comedian.”
Jay Richardson, Edinburgh Festivals Magazine

“What’s different here, though, is how gentle he is with his
audience, his relaxing bonhomie coaxing genuinely interesting
tales instead of the usual drunken banter.”
Ben East, Metro 

Mark Olver: “Happy Accidentally” 2006

“He instinctively creates a vibrant, happy atmosphere, and
one that’s even better because of it’s spontaneity…
[this] all contributes to the feeling you’re sharing a unique
experience”
