Twenty years after his first solo show, inexplicably much curlier of hair, and with many more hangovers behind him, one of the festival’s most storied comedians rashly attempts a "best of" compendium of what he can remember from his many, many Edinburgh offerings. Although probably not the one where he turned a building into an immerse-theatre hotel for the whole month. But then, you never know. A one-off experiment.

About Mark Watson

Mark Watson: 20 Years Of Doing My Absolute Bloody Best is a one-off comedy experiment at Shedinburgh Fringe Festival. Twenty years after his first solo show, Mark Watson rashly attempts a 'best of' compendium of what he can remember from his many Edinburgh offerings — with many more hangovers behind him and inexplicably curlier hair.

Running 60 minutes and suitable for ages 16 and up, the show involves audience participation and contains strong language.

Why see this show?

A genuinely rare occasion: a comedian taking stock of two decades at the Fringe in a single, self-deprecating retrospective. Unpredictable by design, and only happening once.
