He created and starred in three series of "Giles Wemmbley-Hogg Goes Off" and "The Museum Of Everything." His unique voice has made him a regular on BBC Radio 4, hosting shows like "The Late Edition," "The Brig Society," and "I've Never Seen Star Wars."

His work has received critical acclaim, especially his debut play "The Red," which won the BBC Audio Drama Award for Best Single Drama in 2018. He also directed a stage adaptation of "The Red," which was well-received at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2019.

Beyond comedy, Marcus advocates for non-violence and actively campaigns for CND and the Campaign Against Arms Trade. He has participated in environmental activism with Cape Farewell, documenting his experiences in the Arctic and the effects of climate change.
