A comedian, singer, actor, broadcaster and journalist, Mark’s 40+ year journey through Australian media and show business has taken him from the Melbourne Herald Sun, to cabaret group The Globos, to arts editor of Vogue Australia, to the creation of Bob Downe in 1984, to acting in Kath & Kim, singing as himself on Good News Week and broadcasting on ABC TV and local radio - then back to Bob again. His work has taken him from Australia to Edinburgh to London to New York, and it’s not over yet!
