Comedian-cum-novelist Mark Watson looks to build his following


Mark Watson is a familiar face to many. However, there are still plenty of people who wouldn't recognise his name.
But at just 30 years old, he has already built up a fairly big following, hosted in his own radio show and written three novels: Bullet Points, A Light-Hearted Look At Murder and Crap At The Environment. And they say life begins at 40.
The fast-talking, wildly gesturing comic, author, sportswriter and husband started his journey at Bristol Grammar School, where he won the prize of Gabbler Of The Year, before going to Queens' College, Cambridge, where he studied English, gaining a first-class degree.
During his time at university, he starred in, and directed a number of plays and comedy sketches, including two years with the Cambridge Footlights, with whom he was nominated for a Perrier Comedy Award (Best Newcomer) at the 2001 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
