Mark Simmons: Jest to Impress 2026

Master of one liners, Mark Simmons, returns to Chelmsford Theatre after his 200 date sell out debut tour that spanned two years and multiple continents.

Mark is back on tour in 2026 with Jest To Impress, a brand new hour packed with even more expertly crafted one liners, alongside his trademark off the cuff jokes based on random audience suggestions.

Mark is enjoying further success with his podcast, Jokes With Mark Simmons, where he invites a fellow comic, such as Gary Delaney, Sarah Millican, Milton Jones, and Penn & Teller, to discuss jokes that they’ve written but for whatever reason couldn’t get to work.
