Featuring Mark Watson (BBC)
Multi-award winning stand-up comedian and Just For Laughs alum Mark Watson is a former member of the famed Cambridge Footlights, and has been called a “stand-up superstar” by Time Out New York. This British comic has embarked on multiple worldwide tours, appeared on BBC1’s Live At The Apollo, Dave’s One Night Stand and 8 Out of 10 Cats, presented BBC2’s Never Mind the Buzzcocks and released his debut stand-up DVD last year. Since winning the first ever Panel Prize at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2006, Watson has gone on to write four novels. He was also a specially invited guest at Al Gore’s inaugural Earth Summit, which led to Watson writing his first non-fiction book Crap At The Environment to critical acclaim.
Modi (Comedy Central) Voted one of the Top 10 Comedians in New York City by the Hollywood Reporter and BackStage, Just For Laughs alum Modi is one of the hottest comedians on the scene today.

On the silver screen, Modi has played leading roles in two films: Waiting for Woody Allen, which won the 2004 LA Film Festival, and Stand Up, a feature length film released in 2006. He has also appeared in Our Italian Husband with Chevy Chase and Brooke Shields, The Perfect Christmas with Queen Latifah, and National Lampoon’s One, Two Many. Modi is a regular at the New York and Los Angeles comedy club circuits and tours across the US, United Kingdom, Holland and Israel.

Brooklyn-born and raised Wil Sylvince is one of the most explosive comedians performing around the world today. Having performed at Just For Laughs Festivals numerous times, he most recently brought down the house at last year’s TBS Just For Laughs Festival in Chicago last year. His performances on BET’s Comic View, HBO’s Def Comedy Jam and Showtime at the Apollo all garnered him standing ovations. He has been hand-picked by comedian heavyweights Damon Wayans, D.L. Hughley, Chris Tucker and Bill Bellamy to tour the US. Sylvince also prides himself in his exceptional comedy writing skills.
