Double Headline Comedy Night Featuring Mark Thomas & Tom Ward
Get ready for an unforgettable night of razor-sharp satire, surreal storytelling, and laugh-out-loud brilliance as Beccles Public Hall hosts a special double headline comedy event on Friday, December 6th.
Mark Thomas
Legendary political firebrand, master storyteller, and cutting-edge satirist Mark Thomas returns to the stage with his signature blend of activism, wit, and jaw-dropping tales. In a world where ‘free speech’ is filtered and commodified, Mark carries the beacon of truth—funny, fearless, and fiercely relevant.
Joining Mark is the brilliantly offbeat Tom Ward, star of Live At The Apollo, known for his electrifying stage presence, surreal observations, and cult-favourite status on the UK comedy circuit. Expect the unexpected—and then some.
Plus Lily Phillips a fearless and funny regular at the London Comedy Store. She combines social satire with killer punchlines. The evening will be hosted by one of the best MCs in the land, David Ward, whose quick-fire charm and crowd mastery guarantee the laughs never stop.
Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
Mark Thomas

Mark Thomas is well versed in the art of creative mayhem and over the years his troublemaking has changed laws, cost companies millions and annoyed those who most deserved to be. “One of Britain's greatest storytellers…beautifully-paced and structured…a passionate humanity that surpasses most other work at the Fringe" (The Scotsman). 'A brand of comedy that carries a far weightier purpose than to simply generate laughs.. Cuckooed leaves a lasting impression' (Sunday Herald) 'A clever, funny and angry show... an excoriating, heartfelt monologue...Thomas the polemicist deploys the comedian's eye for a situation's dark absurdities' (The Guardian) 'Thomas's show ruefully tots up the cost of personal betrayal' (Sunday Times) 'Bracing, brilliant and necessary... Mark Thomas is the most intelligent of the modern leftist stand-ups... an unmissable hour' (Theatre Cat). Mark Thomas was named in Ents24's top 20 hardest-working comedians 2017 and 2016.
