Mark Roberts turns sports streaking into performance art
The Best Streaker Ever Bares All (PTFO Vault)
The interview shows how a decades-long run of public stunts became a study in spectacle, authority, risk, and fandom.
- 1Mark Roberts built a global streaking career through elaborate costumes, careful planning, and split-second escapes.
- 2His Super Bowl stunt combined a referee disguise, a midfield reveal, a tackle, and an arrest into sports television history.
- 3At 60 and after a heart-failure diagnosis, Roberts still treats streaking as joyful performance rather than a finished chapter.

Roberts reconstructs his Super Bowl XXXVIII invasion, from the referee disguise and midfield reveal to Matt Chatham’s tackle and his arrest.
The brief
Pablo Torre meets Mark Roberts, a Liverpool painter and decorator whose second career made him one of sports’ most recognizable streakers.
Roberts traces the impulse back to a drunken 1993 dare in Hong Kong, where running naked onto a rugby field turned embarrassment into freedom and adrenaline.
The stunts became increasingly engineered: tearaway clothing, Velcro, written messages, and a referee disguise helped him reach major sporting events.
At Super Bowl XXXVIII, Roberts interrupted a kickoff, stripped over the Super Bowl logo, improvised a football-themed covering, and danced before Matt Chatham tackled him.
The arrest and court case sit beside Roberts’s reflections on family, authority, health, and why he still sees streaking as joyful fandom rather than mere exhibitionism.
