2019 Edinburgh Fringe
Mark Nelson: Brexit Wounds
Having barely survived his car exploding on a motorway, Nelson isn't exactly about to pussyfoot around the political car crashes currently happening. Award-winning stand-up renowned for brilliantly dark material, host of BBC Radio's smash-hit The Good, the Bad and the Unexpected, creator of viral sensation News at 3 (180+ million views!). 'Unquestionably talented... knack for making people laugh about things they know they really shouldn't laugh about... Pithy-but-charming delivery, great jokes, and lots of them' (Telegraph). 'Profoundly hilarious... Irreverence done right' **** (List). 'Blistering material which pushes dangerously near the boundaries of good taste' (Sunday Times).

GQ, 7th August 2019Mark Nelson on why Brexit's divisive subject for Fringe
At the start of the show I am currently previewing for the Edinburgh Festival, I ask the audience what one word they would use to sum up the current state of the UK. As you can imagine, the majority of answers I get back are not fit to be published in a national newspaper. Well, maybe the Daily Star.
