Edinburgh Fringe
Mark Watson: Search
Mark Watson's 12-year-old son just got a phone. His 70-year-old dad has been through the most frightening experience of his life. Both a dad and a kid himself, around the midpoint of his life, the Taskmaster star, multiple award-winner and Fringe legend returns to consider the search for meaning that we're all on, with or without Google. There will be a lot of jokes. 'A genius-level comic doing what he does best... magical to watch and just so funny' ***** (Time Out). 'Witty, warm, perfectly judged' ***** (Telegraph). 'Uplifting, time excellently spent' ****½ (Chortle).
