Mark can be very funny, with an engaging personality but I think Pleasance Grand may be a bit big for him.

For whatever reason I'd not caught up with Mark Watson before this year. I'd seen him on Mock The Week etc and was thoroughly looking forward to this... and it was ordinary. He worked the audience up - but it came across as the staple of a good compere rather than someone now playing the big gigs. His hangdog Welsh miserabilism was funny without being pant wetting. I can't say he'd run out of ideas because I've not seen an hour of his before but the show was decidedly stretched - 3 out of 5 and only because it was half price

I cannot believe this man is a comedian.My memories from the show are based around a ranting Welshman talking about his experience of traveling around Britain on trains! Managed to stay and watch around 40 mins of the show (due to the fact that we we were in the middle of our row of seats), however, it soon became unbearable and my partner and I decided we had to leave. No offence to this comedian but I have never seen a show as bad as this in my life - i think the only thing I could possibly compare it to would be a film I saw a while back with no plot what so ever and subtitles.

We saw Mark Watson at the Arts Theatre in London at a try-out for his 2008 Fringe show. He was on great form that night, a real avalanche of laughs. He's funny, endearing and has the best delivery in the business. Worth every penny of flying over from Holland to see him perform.
