Mark Silcox explains how to be happy

At Chortle's Fast Fringe

Ultra-deadpan comedian Mark Silcox explains the secrets to a happy life in today's clip from Chortle's Fast fringe

To make his point , he uses a five-piece jigsaw to makes up a contented human: social, parental, economic, cultural and future.

And although there are no jokes, he gets the audience laughing from his delivery alone.

His show, I Can Cure, is at Ciao Roma at 2.10pm – which also covers the origin of homosexuality; and features him making hydrogen.

And you can watch extracts from a dozen comedy and variety shows every day at our Fast Fringe showcase in Edinburgh. It's on at 18:40 daily in Pleasance Dome. Tickets.
