Comedians | Mark Bratchpiece
Motherwell based Mark Bratchpiece is the patriarch of the only stand up comedy family in the UK (along with sons Bratchy and the Wee Man). With his deadpan one-liners and easy audience rapport, Mark Bratchpiece is so relaxed on stage to the casual observer it must look effortless. But behind that laconic exterior lies a keen mind and a razor-sharp comedy wit.
His subtle, intelligent, Lanarkshire, Tim-Prod-Jewish humour has seen him become one of the elder-statesmen of the circuit. He has astounded audiences with his clever word play, and charming observations about everything from everyday life to the bigger questions posed by the universe.
Mark’s age is unknown, but he claims food rationing in his childhood can be blamed on his cynical outlook on life (and an outlook from under 5ft 5ins).
