One of Britain's finest comedians and broadcasters, Marcus's talent was noted early on in his career in 1996 when he won the BBC New Comedian Award at the Edinburgh Festival. He is now regarded as a major comedy, writing and acting talent, performing stand up nationally to sell out audiences around the UK and globally at international comedy festivals. Award winning Comedian and radio/tv presenter Marcus Brigstocke has just returned from a 10 day voyage to the Arctic and wants to talk about his first experiences with Inuit Greenlanders. Whilst there he ate raw seal liver, touched icebergs (and attempted to board them), performed stand up on a glacier, jammed with world famous pop stars, retold Milton’s classic ‘Paradise Lost’ and shared a Russian research vessel with 43 fascinating and provocative artists and scientists from around the world. There’s no book to sell, nor TV program, tour or DVD to promote, just a great story that begs to be told while it is still fresh. As a comic, Marcus is in a unique position to convey the humour of this amazing project and to talk about positive responses to climate change.
