"I laughed out loud, both in disbelief and awe." – The Pun.
Mark Williamson is a Tasmanian-born, but not (in) bred and now Sydney-based Comedian, whom after finding nothing but disillusionment in the corporate world, found solace in the wonderful world of Comedy.
After a year or so treading the boards in such fine establishment's as the iconic Sydney Comedy Store, the legendary Paddy Macguires and some dodgy venue on the fringes of Windsor he found himself in Victoria for the 2007 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, for the debut of his solo show, Quarter Life Crisis!!
Said the Critic's….
"I laughed out loud, both in disbelief and awe." – The Pun.
"He's a lively, likeable guy with a hint of oh-so fashionable geek chic." – The Age.
