SEE HOW HE DOES IT
Mark is focused on creating the world’s best user experience for consuming silliness. Characters, costumes, voices, and situations are derived from people just like you and are optimized and performed to ensure peak lmp (laughs per minute).
Mark is an absurd comedian, not an academic. Big data is a large part of his algorithm, but at his offices in New York, practical design and real-world savvy trumps comedy theory to achieve the most optimal results.
Whether in a group or alone, online or on stage, electronic or analog, musical or spoken, Mark continues to deliver on his mission to ensure well-being through laughter.
