We are delighted to announce that the host for the 2024 Construction Marketing Awards Gala Dinner is Mark Watson.
Mark is one of the UK’s most successful comedians, the winner of the Panel Prize at the Edinburgh Fringe (where he has been one of the biggest-selling acts over the past twenty years), as well as Best Show at the Adelaide and Sydney Comedy Festivals, multiple Chortle Awards – including a Legend of Lockdown, in 2021, for his online work – Time Out Comedian of the Year and quite a lot more.
His many TV credits include Taskmaster, Live At The Apollo, QI, Have I Got News For You, Would I Lie To You and The Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls. He is also a very familiar voice on Radio 4, where his series ‘Mark Watson Talks A Bit About Life‘ has been a popular fixture for more than fifteen years. He is one-third of the cult YouTube phenomenon No More Jockeys, which has had well over nine million views since it began in 2020. He currently presents the World Snooker Tour’s podcast with sporting legend Stephen Hendry.
Not only a stand-up, Mark has also written seven novels: Bullet Points (2004), A Light- Hearted Look At Murder (2007), Eleven (2010), The Knot (2012), Hotel Alpha (2014), The Place That Didn’t Exist (2016) and Contacts (2020).
