Mark Black: Horrible Family

Horrible Family is a stand-up and musical comedy show by Mark Black, presented at the King's Theatre in Glasgow as part of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.

The show mixes stand-up with comic songs, and draws its material from a dysfunctional family. Mark Black addresses a father's addiction, sibling rivalry and a recent period of sobriety, with dark humour and sharp observations. The songs take the same subjects and twist them deliberately, so the tone is candid and unfiltered rather than gentle.

Earlier performances of the show were staged at the SEC Armadillo and the Pavilion Theatre, where they sold out, and clips of the material have been widely watched online. This Glasgow visit forms part of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, with the performance taking place at the King's Theatre, a theatre in the city.

The title suggests the subject matter will be familiar to many audiences, since the show's material is built around everyday family dynamics. Expect a blend of spoken comedy and musical numbers, with the performer moving between the two throughout the evening.
