Mark Restuccia = me.

I’m a London based stand-up comedian/comedy writer/actor/voiceover artist, and i tell jokes to people who in return, should bloody well laugh.

I’ve played comedy clubs all around the country, including Jongleurs, The Comedy Store, Up The Creek, The Stand and also won the Comedy Cafe New Act Competition and beaten the notorious Comedy Store Gong. Sorry, i shouldn’t show off. Actually i should, i’ve worked bloody hard. I’m not having a go, but i have.

Oh and listen to this: I’ve only gigged in Tenerife, Slovakia, Romania, Slovenia, Prague, Hungary, Malta and Cyprus. I’m bloody well international don’t you know.

‘It’s easy to see why he was headlining, Mark had the verve and confidence of a seasoned pro’

-Steve Bennett (Chortle)




‘Corking lines to satisfy, all delivered with unwavering faith’

- Steve Bennett - (Chortle) on Laughing Horse Final 2010



'His act was like a Royal toilet - always polished but often filthy'

-Channel4.com Comedy Police Review


‘Like Jimmy Carr before he presented mind numbing quiz shows on Channel 4 and when he was fresh, he produces comedy by inverting normal day to day topics into funny yet sickening punchlines’

-Three Weeks


‘His off the cuff style and devil-may-care attitude was a hit with the audience, and it was clear he got a genuine thrill from making people laugh, a kind of sincerity that’s becoming more and more rare in good comedy’

-Leicester Wave Newspaper


‘Polished, his professionalism might have told against him as he was the most ‘like a comic’ when the competition preference seemed to run in favour of youthful energy over craft.’

-Julia Chamberlain for Chortle on Amused Moose Final 2010


‘Packed to the rafters with gags, the jokes rarely misfire. Crucially, has excellent timing and a strong sense of his audience, and these are deployed effectively, elevating this show beyond much of the free comedy on offer.’
-Three Weeks (4 Star review)

‘Full of good cheer and quips as full and lush as his beard. A constant ripple of giggles kept his set alive and the clapping and whooping after his 30 mins showed a job well done.’
- Dorsetcomedy.com

‘Came out and dropped some killer lines.’
- Bruce Morton (Comic judging semi final of BBC Comedy Award 2011)

‘Very easy to watch, this guy deserves to be taken under the wing of the collective London audience. This is just what you are looking for and expecting from the Camden Fringe and will not only leave you amused, but uplifted too’
-On the Fringe (on my Camden Fringe debut solo hour show).

‘Online dating is a hilariously embarrassing topic and that’s what makes this show an instant hit. His string of failed dates makes his desperate addiction so comical that you will be roaring with laughter.’
– Cream of The Fringe (5 stars)

‘The show was a tightly written glimpse into the life of a man who had become so controlled by the Internet dating that it was ruining the very nature of how he interacted with other people. Restuccia was able to do what all great comics do and use jokes to deflect some of the serious or emotional discoveries he made. Mark’s pace and wonderfully self-deprecating stories makes for a fantastic show that might, just might, make you think twice about Internet dating.’
– The New Current (4 stars)

‘He is a charming performer, very affable. Few initially admit to having used internet dating, yet nods and splurts of recognition escape as he discusses its foibles’
– The Skinny

‘This is a show of good material and worth seeing’
– Broadway Baby
