Uncompromisingly hilarious new show from Scotland's acclaimed multi award-winning comedy powerhouse. Star of BBC's Don't Drop the Baton, BBC radio's Nelson's Guide to Marriage and Telegraph's Critic's Choice. 'Possesses a talent that's simply obscene... Wonderfully crafted gags... his profanity is utterly charming' (List). 'Blistering material which pushes dangerously near the boundaries of good taste' (Sunday Times). 'Powerful punchlines hit the spot... Simple, blunt, but perfectly aimed barbs... devastatingly effective' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Rarely has someone managed to be so simultaneously offensive and likeable' (Fest). 'An unquestionably talented writer and performer... great jokes, and lots of them' (Telegraph).

The Fringe brings in acts from around the globe. And also a few from just down the road. Jay Richardson finds the Scottish scene in rude health.

Interview: Mark Nelson

Since scooping the Scottish Comedian of the Year award in 2006 Mark has become a firm fixture on the comedy circuit in the UK. With his mixture of amazing observation, dark humour and one-liners Nelson continues to write knockout shows.

More details

Scotland's acclaimed and multi-award-winning comedy powerhouse returns to the Fringe with a new hour of uncompromisingly funny stand-up.

Widely considered one of the UK's most exciting and significant emerging comedy talents, Nelson is also set to star in the BBC's Commonwealth Games comedy series Don't Drop the Baton which he will host, as well as creating his debut radio series for the BBC, Mark Nelson's Guide to Marriage.

Armed solely with his dark sense of humour, sublime material and an unparalleled capacity for creating comedy from the darkest of places, Nelson has impressed both critics and audiences alike with his no holds barred comedy.

Please Think Responsibly is about him facing up to responsibility, struggling with the re-adjustments of becoming a father and trying to cope with how much his life has changed as a result. It also touches upon the responsibility of the people of Scotland in facing the independence referendum, no matter the outcome. Above all it's a gimmick-free, hour-long show of world-class stand-up.
