For more than 30 years, Clark has been building a reputation for himself on the comedy scene. Working as a stand-up comedian and
compère, he has performed throughout the U.K., Europe and Asia. In January 1990, he introduced the first 'Pillar Talk' show at the Pillar Room in the
Cheltenham Town Hall, a venue which has seen some of the top acts in the UK including
Simon Pegg,
Mark Lamarr,
Bill Bailey and
Frank Skinner. Clark was on hand to witness one of the crazier moments in
Jim Jefferies' career. The Australian comic was on stage at the Comedy Store,
Manchester when he was attacked by a
heckler. As well as touring with Frank Skinner, Clark has toured extensively throughout Europe (including
Kosovo and
Bosnia) and in Asia. In 1995, he became the first western comic to perform in
Beijing, China. He has been a regular act/compère for comedy clubs such as
Comedy Store and
Jongleurs. At the 2002
Edinburgh Fringe, Clark performed his one-man drama, "Talking to Ted". Playing the role of a less than stellar comedian he tries to come to terms with his
cocaine habit and how he's going to explain to his wife about the Welsh mistress which has now given him a son. His only companion he can talk to is the teddy bear his daughter left in the car. Fiona Stuges reviewed the show in
The Independent praising Clark as "a revelation. He has a strong feel for human frailty and performs with acute intelligence. For that, he shouldn't be overlooked.". The show was broadcast on 7 July 2004 on
BBC Radio 4 with
Les Dennis taking up the main role. He later returned to Edinburgh in 2006 with the
Fringe First production of
What I Heard About Iraq. Based on the
Eliot Weinberger article and using direct quotes and statistics from the people and events that surrounded the
war on Iraq, each member of the production take turns to say 'What I heard about Iraq'. Clark gave a 'powerful performance' and the reviewer ended by saying the play 'is likely to become one of the Fringe's most talked about shows, and rightly so'. Then in 2014 his play “Gagging For It” was performed at
Edinburgh Fringe. 'In a dressing room at the festival four stand-up comics give as good as they get in a riot of one-liners, some at the expense of the disillusioned promoter and others at the expense of an enthusiastic novice. But when a glamorous TV researcher arrives, we find that all is not quite what it seems. In this fast-moving, irreverent and gag-packed new comedy, everything is up for grabs as naked ambition takes centre stage and many a dark truth is revealed‘. The play starred
Imran Yusuf,
Jonny Freeman, Martyn Hill, Matt Welcome, Becky Graham and Susan Murray. It was directed by Dave Bourn (Perrier Nominated Director). In 2018 he was a finalist in the “British Comedian Of The Year” competition that offered the biggest prize in stand-up comedy which had over 700 entrants. Tim has also performed as tour support. Most recently he opened for
Engelbert Humperdinck (singer). ==TV & Radio==
