Product Description
Comedy that really makes a difference! This is Mark's true story of cake icing as a political weapon, of demonstrations to Defend Surrealism and getting to like the police. Mark turns an 18 month battle over Parliament Square and the right to demonstrate into bizarrely brilliant stand up.
This is how Mark fought the law ... with the law's permission! It is a laugh out loud funny world inhabited by anarchists, Goths, artists and the Westminster Constabulary, in which Mark becomes a Guinness World Record holder, organises 2,500 protests in one day and changes the law in the process.

Not quite as punchy as Mark's CD "The Night War Broke Out", but it would be hard to match that simply because of the nature of the material and the edgy feel / atmosphere at the time that CD was recorded. But despite not matching TNWBO, "Mark Thomas - Serious Organised Criminal" is still spot on in terms of material and still presented in a very funny way. In particular, I liked the extras on the DVD - when I watch or listen to Mark I do sometimes wonder how much dramatic license is involved, but when you watch the extras you see that what he describes is exactly what happened (at least for those clips). Fantastic stuff. As per other people's comments, I wish Mark was still on TV regularly - more people need to know about what is going on in the country/world today and Mark's presentation style is one that would get more people listening. I suspect he makes politicians very nervous even now, but were he a regular on TV again I suspect they would be terrified of what he reveals.

Mark Thomas brings an almost evangelical edge to the right to protest, he shines through the fog of political intrigue and in doing so manages to point the finger of ridicule at exactly the right place. Pin point accuracy with his facts, a wicked glint to the eye and above all, a need to shame those who have created injustice. Mark Thomas is more than a comedian and he is more than a political activist. I feel that I need to make a demonstration, Mark Thomas to be knighted! This DVD is a great way to enjoy an evening in, highly recommended.

Mark Thomas returns with his own unique brand on agit-comedy. As always he delivers the goods and makes you laugh and think. What a pity his channel 4 shows aren't available on DVD too (hint hint)

If you have ever seen Mark Thomas live or heard him on Radio 4, or elsewhere, then this product will need no introduction.

Fantastically funny and thought-provoking standup show
This DVD will really make you think and raises some serious issues but at the same time will make you hurt with laughter. Not recommended for anyone with right-wing leanings!

An excellent set, but inexhaustive
A typical show of this set and tour was well over three hours in length : the DVD is heavily edited, and barely half that. Read more

disappointing,
This is the first Mark Thomas show I have seen, and I am sorry to say, I was disappointed. It was a clever and amusing idea, but enough material for an entire show? Read more
