Marcus Brigstocke is a major British comedy talent as writer, actor, presenter and performer. It’s said he is heard on Radio 4 more frequently than the shipping forecast. Marcus Brigstocke’s talent was noted early in 1996 when he won the BBC New Comedian Award at the Edinburgh Festival. He is now regarded as a major comedy, writing and acting talent, performing stand up nationally to sell out audiences on tour. Alongside his extremely busy corporate diary. Marcus is rated one of the best awards host and event stand up’s in the country.
On television Marcus Brigstocke launched The Late Edition, the late night BBC4 answer to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He has hosted and appeared as a panellist on Have I Got News For You; and played King Stupid in Stupid on CBBC. He also took the lead in We Are History, which brought him to the attention of the odd excitable archaeologist.
TV & Radio Work
He stretched himself further, joining various celebrities in learning French in ‘Excuse My French’; and injuring himself in Channel 4’s ski-jump challenge, The Jump. He was the host of I’ve Never Seen Star Wars on both radio and TV, a regular on panel shows from QI to Just A Minute; and has even cropped up on Question Time, Newsnight and This Week. In The Joy of Techs he met his friend Alexis Conran’s enthusiasm for the latest gadgets with his own tech-scepticism.
