Comedian Mark Simmons returns to Docks Academy with his new tour ‘Jest to Impress’ on Wednesday 27th May 2026!
Mark is back on tour in 2026 with Jest To Impress, a brand new show packed with even more expertly crafted one-liners, alongside his trademark off-the-cuff jokes based on random audience suggestions.
Mark is enjoying further success with his podcast, Jokes With Mark Simmons, where he invites a fellow comic, such as Gary Delaney, Sarah Millican, Milton Jones, and Penn & Teller to discuss jokes that they’ve written but for whatever reason couldn’t get to work.
As Seen on Mock The Week, BT Sport and ITV, ‘Master of one-liners’ Mark Simmons had a groundbreaking 200+ date sell-out debut tour lasting two years, spanning the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
WINNER Dave’s Funniest Joke of the Fringe 2024
