Mark Evans is a Welsh comedy writer and actor.
Evans was raised in Wrexham and read Classics at Cambridge University. He joined the Footlights, where he became president, and met writing partner James Bachman and also Robert Webb. After a unsuccessful stint as a stand-up comedian, he decided to switch to screenwriting.
Evans' big break came when he was asked to write for Jack Docherty's eponymous show The Jack Docherty Show. His most notable work was for Mitchell and Webb's radio show That Mitchell and Webb Sound and its award-winning television adaptation That Mitchell and Webb Look. Some of his other credits include Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway (2002–2003), Popetown (2005) and The Late Edition (2006). He has also appeared in That Mitchell and Webb Look as various minor characters, most notably as David Mitchell's character's chiropractor, Saxondale, the CBBC programme Sorry, I've Got No Head and various commercials.
