Mark Felgate

A man with many unique talents, Mark Felgate is a sought after act on the stand-up comedy circuit. His startling abilities as a ventriloquist, combined with guitar playing and a wickedly daft sense of humour, will have you and your guests laughing out loud!

Performing without a dummy, Mark throws his voice to create side-splitting routines on school life, freaking out drunks and pallbearers and the vagaries of censorship. His performances include a slew of silly voices, noises, vocal acrobatics, twisted songs and guitar histrionics!

Previous Experience
Mark has entertained around the globe performing in Japan, Singapore, Germany, France, Holland, Malta, Hungary, Cyprus, Poland, Prague and Croatia to name a few.

No stranger to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Mark has numerous shows under his belt and has has worn out several Sat-Navs driving round the UK appearing in comedy clubs, arts centres, theatres and universities.

Mark also starred in and wrote, "Lipsmackin" a pilot for BBC three, was the winning comedian on "Gagging For It" (Channel 5) and taught Ant and Dec on the screen how to do ventriloquism for their "Saturday Night Take-Away" (ITV)!

He has applied his comic talents to an advertising campaign for "Stimerol" in the Netherlands, which meant he had to endure filming in Cuba, with 10 glamorous models, and also a campaign including voice-overs for the Royal Bank of Scotland, which was far less glamorous!

Regularly lending his voice to the radio, Mark has also played the character Dewey in two series of the BBC Radio 4 sitcom "Elephants to Catch Eels" from the writers of "Dead Ringers".
