Mark Watson, the Comedian's Blog

So, basically, through my website (markwatsonthecomedian.com) my agents are going to start a proper mailing list which sends out a newsletter about my gigs and so forth. A bit like this, but classier and not dependent upon the whim of MySpace. I will still use MySpace as well, but they will be more organised about it than I am.

If you'd like to be on such a mailing list, please send me your email address (as a personal message) and I will put it into our database and now and again you will receive news. Oh, you know how a mailing list works.

It should go without saying, but your email address will not be given to anyone else, as I am not a business, just a man. So you will not get any emails offering you a bigger cock or saying that you qualify for £3 million if you sign a series of mis-spelt documents.

If you don't want to do this, that is quite fine. Indeed if everyone DOES do it, I will receive around 1500 emails and will have created a monster.

Thank you!

Mark

Here are my tour dates for next Winter and Spring. This is a frighteningly extensive tour.  It'll be a hybrid of my Edinburgh show (All The Thoughts I've Had Since I Was Born), a few 'old favourite' jokes, some brand new ones, some off-the-cuff bits, and a bit of confused rambling about whichever town I was in the night before.

We've tried to include quite a few places that often come up in 'why don't you ever come to...?' conversations. Even a couple suggested by people on Facebook. I am also revisiting some of my favourite venues. After this, I will tour Australia and New Zealand. Then have a short break before continuing with the rest of my life.

I hope you can come to one, some or even all fifty-odd of these shows.
Actually don't come to all of them. The magic would be shattered.

You should be able to get tickets direct from the venues for most of these shows.

The last thing to say is that, if you're thinking 'this is all very nice, but I'm not in Britain; I'm in Perth, Western Australia', you can see me all next week at the Playhouse.

Thanks everyone. MW
