Please help Mark Watson. Who's Mark Watson? Who ISN'T Mark Watson?! (You'd have to have been there).
On Monday Mark deservedly won the innovation award at the Chortles - we managed 15.5 hours of the 24 which we are rightly very proud of. This year our leader has chosen to perform the following show...
'2005 Years In 2005 Minutes: Mark Watson Explains The World Since Christ'.
For the less mathematically minded of you, 2005 minutes equates to 33 hours and 25 minutes. There is no way in the world we'll come close to sticking out the whole thing this time round but we'll be giving it our best shot.
At the moment the great man has no venue so please please please if anyone knows of anywhere in Edinburgh for a 34 hour long self-contained show please get in touch with us and we'll forward suggestions onto Mark.
"It doesn't take much effort from the venue. They just have to allow it to stay open and we will do everything else. It doesn't necessarily involve any health and safety issues, apart from my personal ones. And it is a big publicity thing and should attract a good few people. And it can be any sort of room, needn't be big or well-appointed, a toilet is a bonus."
Do it for the sake of innovative comedy. It was such a great experience last year so please help it happen again in 2005!
