Mark said: “I’m so excited to go out on tour, it’s the best job in the world. I used to work on a market stall selling yo-yos and as you can imagine, that had it’s ups and downs.”
Mark decided to quit his Martial Arts career, before his dream to make Olympics became a reality, to jump onstage and become a professional standup comedian when Seann Walsh asked him to be his tour support.
