MARK THOMAS

Mark Thomas is widely recognised as one of the boldest and the most uncompromising comedians in the last twenty years, who has had no qualms in combining comedy with political activism.

Prior to his most renowned vehicle,The Mark Thomas Comedy Product, Thomas was a frequent guest comic on the BBC Radio 1 showThe Mary Whitehouse Experience, where he would do a routine about a specific topic of the week and involve studio audience members in the discussions. He would also occasionally play parts in sketches written by the show's main performers.

He then became the resident stand-up comic onSaturday Zoo, a Channel 4 comedy series first screened in 1993 and appeared on an episode ofHave I Got News for You. He co-presented the highly successful Radio 1 comedy talk showLoose Talkwith Kevin Day, and is a founder member of the London Comedy Store's hard hittingCutting Edgeshow.

His political comedy show,The Mark Thomas Comedy Product(later renamed as simplyThe Mark Thomas Product, to reflect its increasing political agenda) on Channel 4 earned him criticism from politicians but was seen by critics as a crucial investigative tool.
