MARK PALMER - BEST MEDICINE
We have all heard the saying “Laughter is the best medicine” and it’s true - laughing is good for you! Worry and anxiety cause stress,
which eats away at our health. The root cause of most sicknesses and diseases is stress. Start laughing and it will reduce your stress.
Mark Palmer, described by the press as “Clean, Classy and Clever”, brings us his “BEST MEDICINE”. Great comedy with no harmful side-effects!

MARK SMITH - LOG FLUME
Mark Smith (Nick Helm’s Heavy Entertainment, Russell Howard’s Good News, car owner) is back with a brand new show. Expect to hear
him bang on about tattoos, all night petrol stations and the ways in which he can improve himself and not feel like he is simply treading water
as his life rushes past him at a terrifying rate. Don’t panic though, there’s also a couple of dick jokes. “One to Watch” Guardian

MARK WATSON: I’M NOT HERE 2016 TOUR PREVIEW
“Terrifyingly funny” The Times, “Belly laugh brilliant...the audience was weeping with laughter” Time Out, “Mark Watson is a Prodigy”
The Guardian Mark Watson (multi-award-winning star of numerous TV shows and his own cult Radio 4 series) returns with a preview of
the follow-up show to his highly celebrated ‘Flaws’. In short: if you like comedy, but you don’t come and see this, you’re acting very oddly.

MARKUS BIRDMAN - GRIMM REALITIES
Growing up, my Preacherman father made me draw Bible stories. I don’t remember the stories, but I draw great. A modern day comedic and visual
take on those Grimm’s classics; Cinderella, Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood. A reality tale for the 21st century. A children’s fable for adults.
Amused Moose Best Show nominee 2015. An example of observational comedy done flawlessly, I can give this show nothing but praise. Highly
recommended. ***** - Keepingupwithnz.com www.markusbirdman.co.uk
