About the show
Mark Watson: Yes, How Can I Help? Live! is the first ever live edition of Watson's popular YouTube show, staged at Monkey Barrel 1. The concept is simple: Mark defies the growing threat of AI by answering any and all questions, having memorised all the world's information. Audiences are invited to come with questions, or send one in advance via Bluesky. Running for 60 minutes, this is an interactive comedy event that plays on the idea of human knowledge versus artificial intelligence.
Why see this show?
