An award-winning comedian is headed for Carlisle to showcase his new stand-up show.

In his first-ever visit to the city, Scottish gem and comedy award holder, Mark Nelson, is set to grace the stage at the Old Fire Station.

Specialising in a blend of 'cutting observations' and 'superb one-liners', this comedian has spent the years since his inaugural 2006 win of the Scottish Comedian of the Year Award firmly establishing himself as a crowd favourite.

Mark's rise to fame began with an open-spot barely a year before his first award win.
