Good Ship Comedy feat. Mark Thomas

Mark Thomas is a legend of the Alternative Comedy Circuit. If you've enjoyed watching comedy in the last three decades then you'll surely have enjoyed Mark's work or seen an act influenced by his ground-breaking comedy. He's pushed the boundaries of stand-up, theatre and campaigning, breaking world records and upsetting countless police officers along the way. He's performed 20 protests in 24 hours, set up an arms dealing after-school club for the under 8s and even established the Citizen's Kazoo Orchestra with our resident host Ben as part of his 100 Acts of Minor Dissent.

He has also created five series of his ‘Manifesto’ show for BBC Radio 4, won eleven awards including three for protecting human rights and performed four shows at the National Theatre as well as at one liberal synagogue, a squatted MP’s second home, on the roof of a multi-storey car park and outside a US military base. 

“Thomas is a terrific performer and raconteur, and he has the gift of making an instant community out of a group of strangers.”The Guardian

“Highly entertaining… very funny… a heartfelt love letter to the health service.”Independent
