Howard Marks' outspoken wit and liberal opinions -- not to mention his murky past as a drug smuggler, has made him something of an icon in the world of literature.

Marks has got one of the most unlikely CVs in stand-up, progressing from a little Welsh mining town to Oxford University, where he earned himself a degree in nuclear physics. He worked with the British Secret Service for a time, and had connections with the Mafia, IRA, MI6 and CIA. He was arrested by the DEA in 1988 and sentenced to 25 years at America's toughest federal penitentiary, serving just seven.

His live shows frequently see him discussing his job as a drug smuggler, where he offers his outspoken views on drug use and legalisation.

The Leicester Square Theatre seats around 420 people, and can be found down one of the roads leading off from Leicester Square. It is a relatively young theatre, and incorporates a small cabarat space for up-and-coming acts.

Richard Herring — “We’re All Going To Die! “ – 8th to 13th October 2013
Richard Herring is bringing his “We’re All Going To Die!” show to the Leicester Square Theatre. The show will tackle the undiscovered country of death, from whose bourn no traveller returns (apart from Jesus and that canoe bloke). Death is inevitable, so let’s laugh in its face while our hearts are still beating and our jaws are still attached to our face.
