The Successful Gold Trader

There’s Gold at the Motley Wherehaus This Comedy Festival with the UKs Mark Silcox! “Mark Silcox, the long-reigning king of gold-plated anti-comedy, strikes again.” ★★★★★ The Skinny (UK)

The UK’s Dr Silcox is coming down under to tell us how to find gold with The Successful Gold Trader! No, not in the Ballarat goldfields, but instead in the highly lucrative gold market! Silcox, a favourite on the UK comedy scene (as seen in BBC’s Mandy by Dianne Morgan, Joe Lycett’s Got Your Back (Channel 4) and Uncle Shady in Man Like Mobeen by Guz Khan (BBC)), is a successful gold trader who delivers a show for Melbourne Comedy Festival designed to entertain and share the secrets of his success! And as for those 1-star reviews, Mark is proud of every single one of them and actually encourages them! Disparage and you shall see!

Ex-scientist and a UK-qualified science teacher Dr Silcox, heading into his sixties, faced considerable financial insecurity and an uncertain retirement outlook. He managed to change all of this with success through a gold trading strategy. Focusing on the gold market, his methodology began to yield significant results. Over a single quarter, he achieved 100% return on his initial capital, transforming his modest £500 trading account. Silcox is now a successful trader, leveraging his experience to motivate his audience. He shares his personal journey and provides insights into his analytical techniques for gold speculation with his new show The Successful Gold Trader. Audiences will receive insights, stories and an entertaining evening coupled with powerpoint presentation that shows just how Dr Silcox did it – and how you can too! Given he doubled £500 in three months, this is a must-see show for every punter struggling in the unstable economy. The Successful Gold Trader will play at the Motley Wherehaus running from 23 March to 19 April.

BIOGRAPHY
Mark is an ex-scientist and a UK-qualified science teacher. If you meet him, you will immediately realise that you have met someone who has mastered the skills of passing academic exams and yet has no idea how things work in real life. His no-nonsense approach to anything he does puts off everyone around him. Mark fails to understand why? Mark has not made a link between the academic world and real life. He is an idealist, minimalist, belongs in this world, and he is a traveller. He respects machines and machines never let him down. He is natural with machines and yet it took him seven attempts to pass his driving test. This had been the biggest setback for him, while his wife and daughter passed their driving tests before him.

Before Mark started doing standup comedy, he was a well-respected badminton player in his local club simply because of his grip on the game. The grip he developed by working hard over the years. The arrival of a few young Chinese players in the club put Mark off from playing badminton and he registered for a stand-up comedy course at Citylit to find a new hobby. After finishing the course, Mark did 60 gigs in clubs and bars all over the country, then he went to Germany to work as a scientist and stopped doing comedy for three years. Mark started gigging again in September 2012 with a completely new and clean routine.
