Welcome to the official Marcus Brigstocke website.
Host of BBC 4's The Late Edition, stand-up comic, writer, presenter, actor, Radio 4 regular and father of two - Marcus is a busy man. The idea of this site is to give those of you with an interest in his work a place to find out a bit more, download biogs and pics, and get advance info on tours, gigs and radio/TV recordings. We hope you find what you are looking for, please send any requests for further info to the webmaster.
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.

Sunday – time for a roasting.
