"A folk
legend...he sounds like Richard Burton and looks like a Rolling Stone"
The Daily Mail |
"A man most
wanted...his one man show is the biggest draw in town"
James Rampton, The Independent |
|
At the height of his career he was smuggling
consignments of up to fifty tons of marijuana and had contact with organisations as
diverse as MI6, the CIA, the IRA and the Mafia. Following a world-wide operation by the
Drugs Enforcement Agency, he was busted and sentenced to 25 years in America's toughest
prison. |
| Following the sell-out success of his show at The Edinburgh
Festival and his run of 10 shows at London's Shepherds Bush Empire, Howard Marks, ex MI6
agent and formerly the world's biggest dope dealer, tours the UK this Autumn with his
unique one-man show. |
"Howard
Marks is one of the finest...a compelling raconteur with a ragged sexiness. His show
provoked the kind of hysteria normally reserved for striptease and he fielded questions
with a measure of charm that would go down a storm in The House Of Commons"
The Times |
| The DEA estimated he was responsible for controlling around
ten percent of the world's dope distribution. That means if you were smoking joints at any
time between 1970, when he started smuggling, and 1988, when he was finally busted, on
average one in 10 will have been brought to you by Howard Marks. |
| `An Evening With Howard Marks' features the best-selling
author and Loaded columnist talking about his remarkable experiences, reading from his
autobiography Mr Nice and answering your questions. |
"You
are almost bound to like him - everyone does. A man so intelligent, so good looking. The
soft brown eyes, melodious voice. Even his adversaries attest to his charm: it is
legendary"
