The
Groggy
Squirrel

In 2008, Mark Watson won Best Show at the Adelaide and Sydney Comedy Festivals, completed a 100-date tour of the UK, Australia and New Zealand, recorded the second series of his cult Radio 4 show ‘Mark Watson Makes The World Substantially Better’, trained as a climate change lecturer under Al Gore, performed another 24-hour show, published his third book, ‘Crap At The Environment’ and continued his regular appearances on the likes of BBC2’s Mock The Week.

He is one of Britain’s most talked about comedians, but also, is quite tired and a bit stressed. In 2009, he returns to the road with his brand new show where he describes his attempts to reclaim his sanity. ‘All the thought’s I’ve had since I was born’ premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last August, followed by a West End run in September, a tour of Western Australia in October and, eventually, a UK tour in 2009.
