This year, millions watched an ex-English teacher defeat a teenage grime artist in a rap battle. Mid-recession, Mark Grist quit his teaching job to embark on a series of challenges, leading him to become ‘an internet sensation’ (Sun) and ‘unlikely heart-throb’ (Guardian). His newest show, The Geek shall inherit the Earth, involves Mark crashing a cookery show being filmed in Abergavenny, travelling to America to compete in the world’s largest Risk Tournament and also becoming an unlikely battle rapper. Warning – contains poetry.
