Mark is well-established on the corporate circuit, capable of presenting awards nights, stand up gigs or a combination of both.
“Simmons delivered a lot of excellent funny one liners in a ten-minute set which raced by. I loved his subtle, well-paced delivery and the way he deliberately misdirected the audience using his tone of voice before surprising them with a line which was the last thing they expected…hilarious.”
