Mark Fraser is a wonderfully inventive storyteller who brings a riot of creativity, humour, and heart to the traditional art of storytelling. Known for his original tales and quirky reimaginings of folk stories and songs, Mark has carved out a distinctive place in the storytelling world with performances that are as visually engaging as they are narratively rich.

Far from the traditional “stick and stool” approach, Mark’s storytelling is a full-bodied, multi-sensory experience. He blends spoken word with puppetry, props, costumes, and a handmade aesthetic that gives each show a wonderfully whimsical and delightfully homespun charm. This immersive style captivates audiences of all ages, drawing them into imaginative worlds filled with laughter, surprises, and the occasional unexpected twist.

Playful and daring with his material, Mark doesn’t shy away from blending classic folklore with modern themes or turning familiar stories on their heads. His sessions are as likely to provoke giggles as they are gasps—and his warm, inclusive style means there’s always room for the audience to join in the fun.

A favourite with schools, community events, and festivals across the UK, Mark Fraser is a master of connection. His interactive, joy-filled performances make storytelling feel like a shared adventure—one where imagination leads the way, and everyone is welcome.
