As Seen on Mock The Week, BT Sport and ITV, ‘Master of one-liners’ Mark Simmons had a ground-breaking 200+ date sell-out debut tour lasting two years, spanning the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
Mark is back on tour in 2026 with Jest To Impress, a brand new show packed with even more expertly crafted one-liners, alongside his trademark off-the-cuff jokes based on random audience suggestions.
Mark is enjoying further success with his podcast, Jokes With Mark Simmons, where he invites a fellow comic, such as Gary Delaney, Sarah Millican, Milton Jones, and Penn & Teller to discuss jokes that they’ve written but for whatever reason couldn’t get to work.
Winner Dave’s Funniest Joke of the Fringe 2024.
Recipient of Victoria Wood Panel Prize Fringe 2023
UK Comics’ Comic 2022 Best Act
Runner Up Dave’s Top 10 Jokes of the Fringe 2022

Master of one-liners…his show consists of literally one liner after one liner, with one or two breaks for the audience to catch their breath before another assault on the laughter and muscles with the next segment
