As Seen on Mock The Week, BT Sport and ITV, ‘Master of one-liners’ Mark Simmons brings his brand-new show on the road.

Mark recently joined Dara O’Brian and Hugh Dennis on BBC2’s Mock The Week as a semi-regular on the show and he now brings you his hotly anticipated show Setup, Punchline, Laughter, Repeat. He’s also been appearing on BT Sport’s DIY pundit and The Rugby’s On.

Mark has also appeared in other TV shows, such as ITV’s Out There, BBC Radio 4ExtraStands Up, a Channel 4 pilot starring alongside Bridget Christie and BBC3’s One For The Road. He also hosted News-ish and Film-ish on Fubar Radio alongside co-host Seann Walsh and is now enjoying further success with his solo podcast Jokes With Mark Simmons, where he invites fellow comics, such as Gary Delaney and Milton Jones, to discuss jokes that they’ve written but that simply just haven’t worked.

This isn’t your average one-liner show as there is a running theme throughout. This year Mark’s parents have sold the house he grew up in and he has to collect his box of stuff from the loft. Come discover what’s in the box in this top-level one-liner show, structured in a way you’ve never seen before.
