  • The God of Abraham?
    "There's probably no God ... but I wish there was. I've got some things I need to ask him." Marcus invites the God of Abraham (or any other available deities) to join him for an informal yet searching Q&A in his BRAND NEW stand up show GOD COLLAR at the Assembly Rooms followed by a National Tour in the Autumn.

    EARLY EDITION PRESENTS 'THE SUNDAY ROAST'
    Marcus, Andre Vincent and two guest comics - including Phil Jupitus, Nick Doody, Louis Black, Rufus Hound, Brendon Burns… – take the Sunday papers and make hilarious satirical origami with what’s in them. In the name of recycling the team also build the 2012 Olympic Village with the left over supplements and pull outs selling trousers with elasticated waistbands, in bath ejector seats and stair lifts. It’s funny. It’s different every time. It’s Sunday – time for a roasting.
