NEUROTIC, multi-award winning comedian, author and Taskmaster survivor Mark Watson is bringing his brand new tour to Farnham Maltings this Friday, February 4.

Watson’s latest show This Can’t Be It has been described as “quite unlike anything else I’ve seen in almost 20 years of covering the Fringe... witty, warm, perfectly judged” in a five-star Telegraph review, and as a “stand-up operating at the very top of his game” in the Independent.

His intended 2020 show – on the cusp of going to Melbourne and Edinburgh festivals, before a typically extensive nationwide tour – was inspired by taking a life expectancy test and discovering he could expect to reach 78: in other words, he’s just over halfway to ‘the finish line’.

It sees the popular but all-too-mortal Radio 4 figure, star of Live At The Apollo and House Of Games wrestle with some of the fundamental questions of life, with unusually high levels of benign audience involvement and the gag rate of an already fast-talking comedian who’s been imprisoned his house for more than a year.

Tickets cost £20 (plus an optional £12.50 for food), from the Maltings box office on 01252 745444 or online at www.farnhammaltings.com

Duration: 80 mins (plus 20 minute interval), recommended for ages 14-plus.
