Mark Rough

With over 3000 shows in his nine years as a professional comedian Mark Rough is currently THE hot name on the corporate, cabaret and sporting dinner circuit. Dubbed The Mackem Motormouth, due to his Sunderland roots, his unique blend of gag telling and stories has Mark reaching out to new audiences all over the world, including Dubai, Spain, The Canary Islands and Cyprus.

What makes him different is that he writes his own material so there’s little chance of you having heard his jokes before (unless it was on national television where Mark has made many appearances).

Comfortable in any surroundings he has seen his act work in christenings, private parties, theatres and the pub next door! His easy on the ear approach to comedy makes him a must for your function.

Mark recently released his first live DVD “Have You Ever Had It Blue?” to critical acclaim. It was filmed in front of a sell out crowd at Blackburn’s King George’s Hall.
