Mark Scott and Jesse Mulligan: Romantic Comedy

TWO MEN, TWO WEEKS - TOO LATE?
Mark Scott and Jesse Mulligan are two terminally single men. During their two week festival season they have three objectives: to start on time, to break even, and to find two women to spend the rest of their lives with.

In their stand up show, they examine what it means to be alone, how they might have ended up that way, and what lessons they might take from romantic comedy films to find true love.

They’ll be seeking soul mates throughout the season, and will be updating progress daily at www.romanticcomedy.co.nz .

Mark says that if things go well, both could be hitched by mid-May.

“We kick off in with a week in Wellington and, should it prove a romance desert, we continue our search in the more densely populated Auckland. So if you know girls in either city looking for love – tell them they’ll find it at Ticketek.”

Jesse says that in preparation for the show, they’ve been surviving on a gruelling diet of chick flicks.

“The classic rom-com plot involves a bumbling idiot encountering all sorts of obstacles and disasters before ending up with the pretty girl. We’ve got the first part of that sussed – now we just need help with the last bit.”

Mark Scott is a well toured international comedian who has played almost every type of venue from cruise ship and corporate box to London clubs and oil town pubs in the northern reaches of Canada. Combining stand up, improv and a small guitar, he is easily able to bring romantic humour to other people’s lives. Just not his own.

Jesse Mulligan is a comedian of 15 years experience, including several TV performances. He was a radio DJ in Wellington for eight years before leaving that job to follow a girl to London. That decision turned out to be a very poor one, and he is now back in the country, co-hosting More FM Auckland’s afternoon show with Joe Cotton.
