Mark Watson talks to Marcus Brigstocke and Rachel Parris

How Was It For You?

Winter Weekend 2025, 

Comedy power couple Rachel Parris and Marcus Brigstocke are joined by top comedian Mark Watson for an evening of conversation, chaos and plenty of laughs.

Spend Saturday night in the company of three of the UK’s sharpest and most acclaimed voices in comedy as they discuss life’s highs and lows and share their honest ratings on everything (yes, everything) from tinned fish to trips to the tip.

Parris and Brigstocke are the hosts of the podcast How Was It For You? and for this live recording they are joined by Watson who has won numerous accolades for his comedy, including Chortle awards and Time Out Comedian of the Year, and has been one of the biggest-selling acts at the Edinburgh Fringe over the past 20 years. He is also a novelist, and his latest book is One Minute Away, about a delivery driver who forms an instant connection with a customer.
