Mark Thomas: 40 In Stand-Up Years

A stand-up comedy show by Mark Thomas, presented at Home Manchester, with the title marking forty years of performing stand-up.

Mark Thomas: 40 In Stand-Up Years is a stand-up comedy show by Mark Thomas, with the title marking forty years of performing stand-up. As a solo stand-up performance, the evening is built on direct address to the audience, with the performer's storytelling, timing and observational humour carrying the material from start to finish.

Stand-up is a form in which one performer speaks directly to the room, so the evening rests on delivery rather than on scenery or a cast of characters. It suits anyone who enjoys conversational comedy, whether they follow the genre closely or are discovering it through a performer with a long career on the circuit.

The show is staged at Home Manchester, which hosts shows and concerts in Manchester, so it sits within the city's programme of live performance.
