About

I’m a headlining comedian with 26 years of experience and more than 200 corporate and private shows under my belt. I’ve appeared on Fox TV, Comedy Central, and Sirius Satellite Radio, and my Dry Bar Comedy special has earned over 10 million views. My act is clean, politically correct, and appropriate for all ages. I’m professional, prompt, and easy to work with, and I give 100% every time I’m on stage. I also regularly tour with a performer from TruTV’s The Carbonaro Effect, so I know how to keep things fun, engaging, and never offensive. If you’re looking for reliable, polished comedy entertainment that fits your event and budget, take a look at my videos and reach out with any questions—pricing is always negotiable.

We booked Mark for a non profit event after another comedian cancelled a week out from the booking. Mark was responsive and worked to fit us into his schedule and I appreciated his professionalism! Most importantly- he was a huge hit with the audience and made it a fantastic evening for everyone. Would definitely hire him again!

We had Mark for a work event.
One hour of continuous laughter.
He was engaging and had all of us smiling and laughing. I will definitely go see him at a comedy club in the future.

We took a chance in bringing comedy into a restaurant, and expectations were exceeded on every level. Mark brought the funny, and that night will forever be remembered by all who attended.
