The ancient world of Christian scripture suddenly becomes alive in front of you. You hear the emotion of the conversations that Jesus had with those he met and you catch a fresh understanding of his teaching.

There was not a murmur in the room as the prisoners watched Stefan’s unique presentation. Several of them commented to me afterwards how they had been amazed by his performance, and that it had a real impact on them personally. ‘Totally different to anything I’ve ever experienced,’ said another. ‘When is he coming back?’ was the general cry!

A profound and beautiful experience…spoken with passion in unbroken story arc by someone who has so deeply internalized the spirit of the message – positively gripping! 

A man, a chair and a compelling story that has survived the test of time. Stefan delivers a mesmerising story of love, friendship, courage and sacrifice.

A great event. Stefan is very talented – and it is a powerful way to bring the account to life.

Not to be missed!

Hugely relevant and powerful

Engaging and intimate. It was thrilling to re-live the miracles and the authority of the Son of God.

Completely captivating…almost mesmerising!

A stunning, dramatic retelling.

I AM MARK shouldn’t be seen as a performance or even as a feat of memory to be marvelled at (all those words!), but as communication filled with love, compassion and power.

Dynamic storytelling

What a brilliant idea this is

By turns uplifting, harrowing and humbling to watch, Stefan’s performance took me with him right to the heart of Mark’s retelling of the story.

Bringing out the passion of when Jesus was shaking things up…you can feel why people wanted to follow him.

If you think you already know the story…think again. I AM MARK – Captivating drama. Mesmerising storytelling. Undeniable Truth.

As a person who is sceptical and likes to keep an open mind, I AM MARK is very different to typical preaching. It’s so impressive to watch someone who has honed the skilled craft of memorising and relaying an entire book of the Bible. Go. You don’t have to be religious to appreciate this.

Powerful and engaging…held the audience in Bristol Cathedral stunned.

Respect! Stefan’s performance was very strong.

Inspiring…a compelling, intense and emotive delivery that had everyone transfixed from start to finish. As something of an [Edinburgh] Fringe veteran, I can bear witness that this is not always a given.

A Great Story… A Great Performer…Expect Great Things

Captivating, bringing the Gospel to life. Stefan Smart is clearly a master of his art.

Intense and fantastic.

I AM MARK makes the works and words of Jesus more real – a brilliant way to introduce him to your friends and neighbours.

Enthralling! Letting go of intellectual engagement, I got immersed in a dynamic, moment by moment encounter with the Living Jesus. It made all other public reading of Scripture dull and second-hand in comparison.
