Hello old friend

 

Welcome to the website of comedy writer and performer Mark G Smith. It's nice and glossy and contains some information. What's that? Yeah you're right, it does feel more like a band’s website but thats just because I used a musicians website template on Squarespace and didn't make that many changes. 

I mainly do comedy stuff. You can see a list of the things I've done here but if you can’t be bothered to click that link I’ll sum it up quickly now: Wrote and performed in a very dumb online comedy series called Mark Smith vs The People, wrote and directed a smash hit audio sitcom called Dial F for Football which stars Lolly Adefope, wrote and starred in a frankly excellent short film called Child Star, wrote and produced a couple of other short films, did a pilot for a show called Call Me and did some stand up on Russell Howard’s Good News. And it’s that sort of clinical and cold content you can expect if you continue looking at this site.

I’ve also done some stuff with brands including fronting campaigns for Chevrolet, Intel and 32Red and writing on campaigns for Tesco, Audible and a load more. I’ve put this at the bottom of this page because I doubt you’re even still reading and these are less cool.
