About Me

Hello! I’m Marc. I grew up in Kent but somehow escaped to London. I do stand up comedy about life, class, and the ongoing challenges of trying to be a decent person. Sometimes there’s music too, usually when I’ve run out of punchlines. Sometimes I play indie folk guitar, other times it is folk indie guitar. One time it was country. That was only once, I promise.

I’m also a practicing Buddhist (and I need a lot of practice). I share what I’m learning through weekly Positive Service Announcements on Instagram.

I like to spend my free time imagining better futures. You can explore some of my zines and ideas for ways to make the world a bit less terrible here.

I’ve got a podcast coming soon called The Bardo Podcast – conversations about inner and outer change, featuring philosophical ideas and voices from alternative perspectives.

I also deliver some-what serious workshops and wellbeing sessions. I have a background in trauma-informed social care, working with people affected by mental health challenges, homelessness, autism, and learning disabilities. I bring that experience into creative and compassionate spaces for workplaces, schools, and community groups.

My sessions focus on improv, play, trauma-informed awareness, paratheatre, and compassion-based mindfulness - always with humour and humanity at the heart.

If you’d like to know more or book a session, get in touch via the contact form.
