Come along for an Evening with Mr Nice this summer!

A nuclear physics and philosophy graduate, Howard Marks has worked with the British Secret Service, been connected with the Mafia, the IRA, MI6 and the CIA, and was sentenced to 25 years at America's toughest federal penitentiary; Terre Haute, Indiana. He was released on parole in 1995 after serving seven years.

In 1996 he released his best-selling autobiography, Mr. Nice, and in 1997 he performed his first live show, discussing his life as a marijuana smuggler and his views on drug use and legalisation. His now legendary one-man comedy show, An Audience with Mr Nice, continues to sell out at venues throughout Britain and Europe. Howard is currently writing the first of a series of crime fiction novels called Sympathy for the Devil.

But writing is not enough... Howard’s musical career, which was kick-started in 1996 by the Super Furry Animals’ track ‘Hanging With Howard Marks’, has flourished. He is a regular on the DJ circuit and launched a label, Bothered’, in the late 90’s. His TV and film career includes a cameo in Human Traffic – The Movie, as well as, of course, his own movie Mr Nice, starring Rhys Ifans. He’s also presented the news (Channel 5), directed the Welsh Celebrity Soccer Six team and has become known as one of the country’s leading political activists, standing for parliament in four separate constituencies (Norwich South, Norwich North, Neath and Southampton Test).
