MARK THOMAS - CHECK UP: OUR NHS @ 70 (LIVE!) Mark spent a month shadowing nurses, consultants and staff at the Imperial Group of NHS hospitals. From gastric sleeves to major trauma to dementia wards and back again, Mark was there to witness our NHS in action. This is the story he tells interspersed with interviews. The result is a surprisingly emotional look at the state we are in. www.ytheatre.co.uk STORYTELLING, THEATRE DATES:

MARK WATSON: HOW YOU CAN ALMOST WIN + THIS CAN'T BE IT (PREVIEW) In 2017, Mark Watson - a man prone to considerable anxiety, with multiple phobias and a history of piss-poor self-esteem - was asked to go on Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls. It really wasn't for him at all because his favourite things include safety, comfort, food and not being scared and miserable. But the experience changed the shambolic comedian for the better, and now he's written a sort of motivational talk about what it taught him. www.markwatsonthecomedian.com/ SOLO SHOW, STORYTELLING DATES:
