Aldeburgh Comedy Weekend: Mark Watson - Before it Overtakes Us

Radio 4 favourite, novelist, quizzer, stand-up, comedy writer, Taskmaster cheeky text icon - Mark Watson is the nation's favourite comedy polymath.

Who else has performed shows on a ferry, from a stream, on a train, and in a vaccination queue? Or completed a Comedy Marathon by performing non-stop for twenty-four hours? His stint at the Comedy Weekend is a mere sprint but, as Chortle said, 'An hour or two of our limited span on Earth in his uplifting, witty company is time excellently spent.' In Before It Overtakes Us, he'll be pondering the uncertain future facing humanity, the worst word he's ever said in public and - of course - the current state of the UK sausage industry.

You'll probably recognise Mark from Mock The Week, Celebrity Pointless, Have I Got News For You, Would I Lie to You?, Live At The Apollo and QI.

His Radio 4 series are myriad - including Mark Watson Makes The World Substantially Better, in which he looked at the human condition through the prism of the Seven Deadly Sins (and a few Virtues) and Mark Watson Talks A Bit About Life assisted by long-time associates Tim Key and Tom Basden.Approximate finishing time: 4pm
