Mark’s humor is a wild ride of challenges, changes and second chances. When Mark was just out of rehab, he discovered his childhood survival skills of making people laugh was his ticket out. Armed with plenty of material poking fun at the insanity his life had become, Mark has worked his way up, literally from the gutter and has entertained on the world’s stage.
