Multi-award winning Scottish comedy star, Mark Nelson, brings his highly acclaimed show to Inverness as part of his first nationwide tour.
Mark Nelson will perform his highly acclaimed show at Eden Court Theatre, Inverness on Saturday 2 March 2024.
Since winning the inaugural Scottish Comedian of the Year Award in 2006, barely a year after his first-ever open-spot, Mark Nelson’s mix of cutting observations and social commentary and superb one-liners has seen him firmly established as one of Scotland’s best loved comedians.
Now the multi-award winner, whose work has previously featured on Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week, and 8 Out Of 10 Cats is embarking on his first ever nationwide tour.
Audiences from Oban to Dublin will have the chance to enjoy the very best of Nelson, who alongside his critically acclaimed live work is known for creating the BBC’s biggest ever online hit, News At 3, which currently has over 250 million views worldwide.
