Goofy quip-meister MARK SIMMONS will be supporting SEANN WALSH at the arts centre on Thursday 4th December. Here's some blurb about him...
With charm and idiocy in abundance, Mark Simmons takes you on a gentle jaunt through the meandering labyrinth of his pun\-ridden consciousness. Delightfully daft but carefully crafted jokes punctuated by absurdly self aware set pieces will have you trying out all your different laughs from the raucous chuckle to the giggle of recognition.
"Simmons's hit rate is remarkably high, and he's charmingly goofy" (Time Out)
"perfectly-timed, clever one-liners" (Leicester Mercury)
"fiendishly clever quips" (Bruce Dessau)
Mark is a busy stand up comic who performs at venues throughout the UK. He is also an actor in improvised documentaries (Docuprov), he writes/acts in short films (Gay Subterraneans), write/acts in online sketches (Something Thingy) and writes film reviews (UK's 3rd Worst Movie Reviewer www.marksimmonshaha.blogspot.co.uk)
