“As a house-hold name and familiar face he’s the perfect headliner for what is already a very strong line-up.”

Joining Mark are London-based comedians Ellie Taylor, who has appeared on the likes of ‘8 out of 10 Cats,’ ‘Live at the Apollo’ and ‘The John Bishop Show,’ along with Archie Maddocks who has been named a New Act of the Year (NATYS) and English Comedian of the Year Award finalist.
