Bio
After breaking on to the comedy scene in 2022, founder of Bliss Comedy, Mary Cross has quickly become a firm favourite on the circuit with her own brand of high-energy comedy which leaves audiences on a euphoric high.

Longlisted for the Funny Women Awards in 2023, a sellout show in the Women in Comedy Festival and Lancaster Comedy Festival in 2024 and UK Pun Championship Semi-Finalist in the Leicester Comedy Festival in both 2024 and 2025, Mary's combination of relatable stories, original songs and linguistic acrobats is a sure-fire winner.

“Mary Cross is confident, charming, and charismatic. One of those people who has a real infectious sense of humour, a warm wit that really makes you all feel in on the jokes, not just that they’re being told to you”

“Mary is just unambiguously funny, and a great watch for really anyone, but especially the kind of folk who come to our shows. She's absolutely wonderful.”
