Will Mars

Will used to think his life was a joke - but he was wrong, it's more like 300. Brace yourself for more jokes than you thought possible. Star of Fox's Showtime at The Apollo, BBC's Stand Up for Comic Relief and NBC's Trial by Laughter, Will Mars is 'a fearsome comedy creation' **** (Scotsman). 'Comedy done right. Intimate, personable - and not to mention - hilarious' **** (EdFringeReview.com). 'Punch after punch of great material... If the world was fair, he would be getting plenty of recognition' **** (Student Newspaper).

One-liner comedians on the Fringe

Quickfire comics like Tim Vine, Will Mars and Richard Pulsford have endured their one-liner humour being scorned as 'low-status'. Isn't it time, asks Kate Copstick, we gave the creators of these haikus of hilarity the respect they deserve?

More details

Star of FOX's Showtime At The Apollo, BBC's Stand Up for Comic Relief, NBC's Trial by Laughter, Will Mars used to think his life was a joke, but he was wrong - it's more like 300.

Will's got daddy issues, mummy issues, sibling rivalries and money worries. He's got women problems, friendship problems, he's in a constant battle with his weight and his hair is leaving him too. Yet the only thing he intends to do about it is make you laugh.

In 2020, Will reinvented himself onstage and trialled his new act at the partial Edinburgh Fringe of 2021. The new Will Mars garnered a raft of fantastic reviews and even managed to win the Malcolm Hardee Award along the way, the only comedy award given out at the Fringe that year. Will and his show are now a finished product, and 2022 has become their debut year in the comedy world.

Will Mars

As seen on FOX's Showtime at the Apollo, BBC's Stand Up for Comic Relief and NBC Comcast's Trial by Laughter (Season 8 Finalist), Will regularly performs across the United States and has been selected for a host of industry-favoured festivals including the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival, Atlanta, the Big Sky Comedy Festival in Montana and Seattle International Comedy Competition (becoming a Top 10 Finalist).

"You'll be glad you're not him but delighted you spent an hour in his company because "This has to be the apotheosis of one-liner comedy." Kate Copstick, The Scotsman.
