Mark Simmons is coming to Carlisle on a highly anticipated debut UK tour, with his new show Quip off the Mark.

“The quickest quipster in show business” – (The Evening Standard)

After a sold out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, where he was awarded runner up in Dave’s Joke of The Fringe Award, Mark is commencing on a 25+ date tour with 17 shows already sold out.

Cumbrians will be able to catch the “Master of one liners” (One4Review) at the Old Fire Station on November 24.

As one of the highest gag-rate comics in the country, Mark has recently clocked up lots of TV and Radio appearances including Mock The Week (BBC 2), DIY Pundit (BT Sport) and Fred At The Stand (BBC Radio 4), whilst also racking up 165k followers on Tik Tok, 36k followers on Instagram, and 81k followers on Facebook.

Mark has previously appeared in ITV’s Out There, BBC Radio 4Extra Stands Up, a Channel 4 pilot starring alongside Bridget Christie, as well as BBC3’s One For The Road.

He also presents his popular podcast, Jokes With Mark Simmons, where he invites a fellow comic to discuss jokes that they’ve written but just haven’t worked, and see if there is a way to salvage them or should they simply be thrown on the rubbish heap.

This has featured the likes of Rob Beckett, Milton Jones, and Seann Walsh.
