Mark Simmons: Jest To Impress
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.
★★★★
