About / Biography

Mark’n’Simon – MusiComedy – A Feast For Eyes & Ears

We are a MusiComedy duo from Ireland & Wales, based in Munich and perform in German and/or English.

We have performed in over 40 countries including Australia & New Zealand entertaining people of all ages since 1979.

Our shows are constantly moving with the times and include a vast collection of songs from the past 70 years to the present.

With plenty of comedy, jokes, gags, parodies and sketches and a positive emphasis on audience participation – suited to all ages – we ensure a highly enjoyable and unforgettable experience no matter where we are: Open-Airs, Galas, Clubs, Theaters – or for private engagements such as Weddings, Birthdays & Corporate Events!

We also make every effort to personalise private events as much as possible and carefully construct individual shows as best we can to accommodate the requirements of the host and the occasion so that we can deliver a uniquely customised show to make it extra special.

In short: Once Seen – Never Forgotten!

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We are pretty self sufficient and flexible, so depending on the venue, performance time and audience capacity (and country), we have everything we need unless crowds exceed 500.


What information do you require about a venue?

Load-in info, parking possibility for a Sprinter tour bus.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, we have our own equipment, basic lighting and transport. For international gigs we need to discuss details depending on the event.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes! We also have our own playlists covering most genres which are very popular. Spotify and our own DJ-ing is an additional option.
It is also possible for the host to play their own playlists through our sound system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Throughout our 47 years on the road and literally thousands upon thousands of gigs behind us, we have had too many special moments to even try to make a short list. We have played for very tiny crowds and to huge crowds, multiple TV shows in different countries, met many famous people and have played a vast array of shows and even hold a Guinness World Record!!


What's your favourite type of event?

Every and any event where we have clearly connected with people through laughter and music. It's really like coming as strangers and leaving as friends. The ever growing collection of messages, mails, postcards and letters we have received over the years, along with the hundreds of newspaper reviews and friends we have made, reflect the priceless positive feedback we have been gifted with and makes our life-choices in MusiComedy undeniably a wonderful privilege.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Mark is from Cardiff, Wales and I, Simon, am from Dublin, Ireland. We met in July 1979 as street musicians in Munich, Germany. Ever since then we have played together and basically learned our Stagecraft from playing, singing and entertaining on the streets of Europe, mainly in the German speaking regions, but also in Scandinavia etc. After several successful TV appearances in the 80s & 90s in Germany (Alfred Biolek/ Thomas Gottschalk), new doors opened for us and we still continue to happily hit the road and experience new adventures.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

A simple question this is NOT as we are continually influenced by endless sources of creativity. The lists of musicians, songwriters, authors and comedians is practically infinite and couldn't possibly be listed in a short answer. We value authenticity and tend to set our focus on evergreens and better known songs that are more easily identifiable with people in general and then add our interpretations with lots of British humour and off-the-wall improvisation. We have a huge repertoire, play multiple instruments, have written our own songs and released records and a CD along the way too. The greatest song of all time hasn't been written yet but we're working on it.


Are we flexible?

Absolutely. We welcome any queries and will happily answer as soon as possible.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Unless otherwise requested, we generally arrive 3-4 hours before show time so that set-up and soundcheck is finished before guests arrive. Officially our 2 x 45min plus encores is in reality definitely longer, but we are extremely flexible and can adapt to any time restrictions to accommodate other activities, kitchen staff etc. Standard gigs are around 50-60 mins and then 1 to 2 hours as is requested.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Usually it's no problem to play outside and like other performers, we would need some protection from direct sunlight.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We are more than happy to accommodate any requests/wishes from clients whenever possible. These have to be discussed directly with the client.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

These are a few comments from the past few months (2026):"You made me so happy ❤️‍🔥" "Your humour is so special, kind and giving. So much joy, fun and love." "the best night I had in years!"-"TOTALLY appreciative of your efforts. You succeeded BIG TIME!"- "Yesterday my friends all said they could not believe how much you had up your sleeves, how many props you had, how perfectly you commanded everything. Everybody was blown away by your Mick Jagger impersonation and loved Keith, too."-"I realise that you two are so much more than just brilliant musicians (and that definitely is part why I am so moved): You have to have a special ability to connect with your audience. You have to quickly understand who and how they are, to judge, how they might react, whose leg you can pull, who you can drag up the stage etc."-"you two are so irreplacable. and you were so helpful and supportive"-"Die beiden muss man sehen, hören und erleben "-"It was brilliant!It was absolute brilliant. Thank you!"
