Simon Evans is the star of Live at the Apollo, Mock The Week, BBC Radio 4's The News Quiz, The Unbelievable Truth & Simon Evans Goes To Market. Simon has made appearances on This Week, Question Time, Celebrity Mastermind, Pointless Celebrities and Mastermind The Professionals.Have We Met? - T1518801191After finally solving the mystery of his existence and true identity in Work of the Devil, Simon finds that he has still not overcome the more daily challenges of remembering what he came upstairs for, who these grown-ups are that live with him (and what they have done with his children?) and how can that footage be from 2009, when he only bought those shoes a few months ago? “In Greek mythology, the Muses were the daughters of Mnemosyne, goddess of memory - though ironically, there is no easy way to remember her name. But memory was thus clearly regarded by the ancient Greeks as the mother of the arts, wellspring of inspiration, the compost in which imagination takes root. Our last defence against tyranny, the consolation of the just and the seat of the soul. Without memory, the illusion of self crumbles. Mine, however, is shot. So where does that leave me? | |

Genius - T0278294502Ever since he was a small boy, all Evans really wanted was to be recognised by the world as a man of genius. He has, until now, remained thwarted. The world seems increasingly indifferent to true genius of any kind, let alone Evans'. Endlessly distracted by the trivial, we allow the classical tools of grammar, logic and rhetoric to lie unregarded in the shed of consciousness, rusting to a picturesque hue that would actually look really great on Instagram. But which filter? Hmmm... | |

In the Money - T857986554Host of BBC Radio 4s Goes to Market and star of BBC1s Live at the Apollo Simon Evans has been immersing himself in economics for the last couple of years, like a pig immersing itself in organic cleansing elements. He has unpicked why the French don't want to own their own home (sex, obvs), why mass spectrometers reveal Americans to literally be made of corn, and why Alco-Synth - the effects of alcohol but with an effective antidote - is not likely to be appearing at a wine bar near you in the near future, despite having been invented years ago. As usual the whole thing deteriorates swiftly into a heartfelt rant about his children but these are at least the lofty aspirations he starts with this time | |

and Mike Wilmot - T1767695562Award-winning Mike started his career in 1995 becoming popular on both the UK’s and Ireland’s comedy circuits as well as gaining critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Festival for his effortlessly funny, fast-paced and hard-hitting comedy. A proud cynic, Mike is politically and anatomically incorrect but completely engaging. He has appeared regularly at the prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. Simon 'Wit, Raconteur and Gentleman Plumber' Evans has performed sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Festival, as well as at comedy festivals in Montreal, New Zealand and Cape Town. His TV and radio work include appearances on The Stand Up Show (BBC 1), The Comedy Store (Five) and Radio 4’s The Now Show. He dresses smartly, uses no bad language whatsoever... he can raise an eyebrow Jack Benny would have been proud of and, according to Steve Bennet of Chortle, is 'Dryer than the Kalahari.' | |

He is a familiar voice on Radio Four, as a regular on The News Quiz, The Unbelievable Truth and Armando Ianucci’s Charm Offensive among others, not forgetting his seven series as anchor and lead writer on The Way It Is. TV viewers may also have seen him labouring bravely in the face of ultimately overwhelming opposition as part of the Comedians team on University Challenge - The Professionals. | |
