Mark Thomas

Gaffa Tapes

Jokes, rants, politics, play and the occasional sing song.

Mark’s now famous mix of standup, theatre, journalism and the odd bout of performance art has made him one of our oldest surviving alternative comics. Often referred to as the ‘godfather of political comedy’ (amidst many other things), Mark has been performing comedy for nearly 40 years.

If you don’t know what he does ask your parents. In his time he has won awards, forced a politician to resign, changed laws on tax and protest, become Guinness Book of Records world record holder for number of protests in 24 hours, taken the police to court three times and won, walked the length of the Israeli Wall in the West Bank and generally mucked about trying to have fun and upset the right people.

“You’ll leave recommitted to the fight against this appalling authoritarian government, to keep that tradition alive.” - The Guardian 2021
