Mark Simmons: Jest to Impress

About

Winner of Dave's Funniest Joke of the Fringe 2024…

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 hour 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.
