About Mark Thomas in England & Son
Written specifically for Mark by award-winning playwright Ed Edwards, this will be Mark’s first ever tour in a production that he has not written himself.
Now as reputed in theatre as he is in comedy, Mark has become one of the UK’s favourite theatre performers. He’s done shows about visiting the West Bank, starting a comedy club in Jenin, espionage, lobbying Parliament, walking in the footsteps of the highest NHS officials, playing at The Royal Opera House, stopping arms deals and creating manifestos.
He had six series of The Mark Thomas Comedy Product on Channel 4, several television documentaries and radio series, written some books, grabbed a Guinness World Record, toured sell-out tours, won numerous awards, nabbed himself a Medal of Honour and succeeded in changing some laws along the way. He has most recently been awarded his London bus pass, an honour he is possibly prouder of than any of the above.
