Mark Watson – Before It Overtakes Us

Celebrating 20 years in stand-up, Mark Watson – cult YouTube favourite, Radio 4 regular, Taskmaster legend (remember those texts?), and most recently seen in Baby Reindeer – returns with a brand-new show: Before It Overtakes Us.

Fresh from acclaimed runs at the Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Edinburgh comedy festivals, Watson brings his trademark frantic energy and rapid-fire wit to explore the big questions… and some of the not-so-big ones.

Prompted by a chance encounter with a stranger, Mark takes a deep (and hilarious) dive into humanity’s uncertain future. Along the way, expect tangents on the most regrettable word he’s ever said in public, the alarming state of the UK sausage industry, and plenty more unexpected detours.

It’s smart, silly, and packed with the kind of laughter only Mark Watson can deliver.
