Mark Dolan: Comedian, Writer, and TV Presenter
Mark Dolan is a comedian, writer, and TV presenter who regularly appears at The Comedy Club venues. With his sharp wit and engaging style, Mark has built a reputation as one of the most entertaining and versatile comedians in the UK.
Most recently, he fronted a brand-new series lampooning the world of advertising in Channel 4’s ‘Mad Bad Ad Show.’ This followed three series of the hugely popular Channel 4 documentary series ‘The World’s…and Me,’ which featured the world’s smallest, tallest, and hairiest people, as well as the most surgically enhanced woman!
Mark is also the host of the iconic Channel 4 comedy show ‘Balls of Steel,’ which still airs nightly on 4Music. His bold and outrageous approach to comedy has made him a favorite among audiences who enjoy his fearless humor.
He launched both E4 and More4 respectively as the host of the comedy show ‘Show Me The Funny’ and as the anchor of the late-night topical talk show ‘The Last Word.’ Additionally, he completed a five-year stint as the host of Sky’s flagship movie show ’35mm.’
Mark’s first big break came in 2000 when he starred in and co-wrote ‘The Richard Taylor Interviews,’ a hidden camera job interview show for Channel 4. In the same year, he reached the final of the Channel 4 live stand-up competition ‘So You Think You’re Funny.’
His first book, ‘Do You Mind If I Put My Hand On It?,’ an account of his travels around the world, was published by HarperCollins in January 2013.
Mark will be fronting a new series in the autumn for E4 entitled ‘The Comedy Summit,’ in which he celebrates iconic television through the decades.
Adding to his impressive list of achievements, Mark recently won ‘Celebrity Come Dine With Me’ at Christmas, securing a £1000 donation for Marie Curie Cancer Care. His winning dishes included a pea and truffle soup and a Dickensian three-bird roast.
He has also just filmed a series of shorts for Channel 4 called ‘Taxi Gags,’ featuring the cream of UK comedy telling gags in the back of a London taxi.
With his outstanding comedic timing, presenting prowess, and natural charm, Mark Dolan continues to be a dominant force in the world of comedy and television.
