Mark Simmons - Jest to Impress

WINNER 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 show 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.
