Award-winning Scottish comedian wonders whether there's any f*cking point in taking anything in the f*cking world f*cking seriously any more. 'Pithy-but-charming delivery, great jokes, lots of them' (Telegraph). Renowned for his brilliantly dark material, appearances on Radio and TV, and BBC Scotland's News at 3 satirical YouTube videos which went viral with millions of views, Nelson is utterly sick of life hack apps and ridiculous self-help books. 'Blistering material which pushes dangerously near the boundaries of good taste' (Sunday Times). 'Profoundly hilarious... Possesses a talent that is simply obscene... this is irreverence done right' **** (List). @marknelsoncomic
