Mark Palmer
Location: Based in Cape TownBiography


Great comedy with no harmful side-effects! What? No Vulgarity, No Cringing, No Embarrassing Situations? Yes, this is Mark Palmer live!
With a comedic voice heavily influenced by the likes of Bill Cosby & Jerry Seinfeld, and a style described by the press as "clean, classy and clever", Cape Town Comedian Mark Palmer gets material daily from the perils of being newly married, babysitting other people's kids, airport madness, the advances of technology, current headlines and general social commentary.
Mark, who holds a legal qualification and worked in the legal and finance worlds for many years before trading it for the comedy stage, has been performing and honing his skills for nearly a decade, and is now one of SA's most sought after comedians. His comedy targets a variety of corporate and theatre audiences, and he has performed at countless events with audiences ranging from 40 to 4000 people. Some of his corporate clients include The Protea Hotel Group, Ford, iTouchSA, and many more. His ability to blend a theme or topic with one of today's funniest comedy routines is unparalleled.
As Jerry Seinfeld said, "Funny is funny. Clean humour, if it's good, works anywhere." With his smart, sometimes loud and often opinionated brand of comedy, Mark is a (very funny) walking example of this motto!
