2014 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

Scotland's acclaimed and multi-award-winning comedy powerhouse returns to the Fringe with a new hour of uncompromisingly funny stand-up.

Widely considered one of the UK's most exciting and significant emerging comedy talents, Nelson is also set to star in the BBC's Commonwealth Games comedy series Don't Drop the Baton which he will host, as well as creating his debut radio series for the BBC, Mark Nelson's Guide to Marriage.

Armed solely with his dark sense of humour, sublime material and an unparalleled capacity for creating comedy from the darkest of places, Nelson has impressed both critics and audiences alike with his no holds barred comedy.

Please Think Responsibly is about him facing up to responsibility, struggling with the re-adjustments of becoming a father and trying to cope with how much his life has changed as a result. It also touches upon the responsibility of the people of Scotland in facing the independence referendum, no matter the outcome. Above all it's a gimmick-free, hour-long show of world-class stand-up.
