Mark Russell: Audiences
built 214 days ago
With his trademark piano in tow, Mark Russell skewers official pomposity and spotlights the utterly outrageous, wielding his wit as deftly as a surgeon wields a scalpel. In presentations freshly crafted for each event and reflective of what literally made the headlines that day, he turns the Washington, DC scene into a musical comedy tour-de-force that leaves audiences rolling in the aisles

Performing in over 100 cities a year, Mark finds the Midwest highly receptive but shy to engage in group antics. The audience in Durham, on the other hand, jumped right into the “Bob Jones University Fight Song.” Mark reports that audience acceptance to blue humor has changed and that jokes about Bob Dole being a test pilot for Viagra always brings laughs. The Durham audience was open to Mark’s risqué humor as he brought the house down telling what place Clinton would have displayed at Mt. Rushmore.
