» Profile

Mark Rough has come a long way in his 13 years as a professional Comedian.

With over 3500 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.

Mark is a big hit on the military circuit, his ability to switch from socials and draw nights to the most formal of military of occasions has made him THE comic to book for your event

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 has released two DVDs "Have You Ever Had It Blue?" and Bigmouth Strikes Again to critical acclaim.

Friendly, approachable and helpful, Mark will make your night go with a bang with a routine that will have your customers, clients and friends talking about it for days after

“Thanks. Mark is an excellent comedian. His act was pitched at the right tempo and contributed to a thoroughly enjoyable evening; made even more so
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
requires a stand up comedian with fast wit and humour that brings tears of laughter to everyone's eyes. Again, thanks very much"

I cannot praise highly enough Mark Rough and his approach to compering our
comedy night. Mark completely stole the show with every person that I have
had feedback from saying what a fabulous comedian. He took time, worked out,
took control of and educated our audience to the point that they were in his
hands. I have never seen professionalism like it and we will be in touch very soon
to re book Mark to come and compare our next Comedy night. We look forward to having him back and again cannot praise him highly enough
he was FANTASTIC!!!
