Mark Rough

» Profile

Mark Rough has come a long way in his 9 years as a professional Comedian.

With over 3000 shows to his name, Mark has gone from the national comedy circuit to performing all over the world. His fast, gag based act is unique to mainstream comedy as he uses 100% original material. Sought after on the after dinner circuit, he has also branched out into cabaret and can now be found filling small theatres across the UK.

Though not blue, Mark Rough IS an adult entertainer and is ideal for functions where a bit of cheekiness won't cause offence. Television was inevitable and he has been seen on many BBC and ITV programmes along with comedy specials on the Sky network.
Mark recently released his first live DVD "Have You Ever Had It Blue?" recorded at a sell out show in King George's Hall, Blackburn to critical acclaim.

Booking Mark Rough isn't a risk... he's funny!

by Mark. I had nothing but great comments about Mark the entire evening and the following morning. I would definitely recommend Mark to anyone who
