Our December headliner is the fantastic Marcus Brigstocke who is a major British comedy talent as writer, actor, presenter, and performer. It’s said he is heard on Radio 4 more frequently than the shipping forecast.On television Marcus launched The Late Edition, the late night BBC4 answer to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He has hosted and appeared as a panellist on Have I Got News for You. He has also been on Steph’s Packed Lunch, House of Games, The Graham Norton Show and was a team captain on Argumental.
Marcus was the host of I’ve Never Seen Star Wars on both radio and TV, a regular on panel shows from QI to Just a Minute, and has even cropped up on Question Time, Newsnight, and This Week. In The Joy of Techs he met his friend Alexis Conran’s enthusiasm for the latest gadgets with his own tech-scepticism.
He’s even appeared on a No.11 chart ‘hit’ with DJ Dee-Kline - a logical progression from his very brief early career as a podium dancer.
Also on the bill with Marcus is the world class comic, Mike Gunn.
Early in his career Mike was supporting the likes of Jo Brand and Alan Davies and recently supported Lee Mack on his huge UK tour. He now headlines at all the top comedy venues in the UK and is rapidly reaching cult status on the circuit.
Television appearances include Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, Celebrity Deal or no Deal, Harry Hill’s TV Burp, Al Murray’s sitcom ‘Time Gentlemen Please’, Soccer AM, The Comedy Store (Comedy Central), Live At Jongleurs, and The Gas. He is a regular on the Sky Poker channel and has also been a contributor for The Guardian. He has written for Time Out, The List, The 11 O’clock Show and Match of The Day Magazine. even though he hates football.
