Mark Simmons - Jest to Impress
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.
As Seen on Mock The Week, BT Sport and ITV, ‘master of one-liners’ Mark Simmons had a groundbreaking 200+ date sell out debut tour lasting two years, spanning the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
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 and Teller to discuss jokes that they’ve written but for whatever reason couldn’t get to work.
Winner of Dave’s Funniest Joke of the Fringe 2024, recipient of Victoria Wood Panel Prize Fringe 2023, UK Comics’ Comic 2022 Best Act and runner up of Dave’s Top 10 Jokes of the Fringe 2022.
