Mark Russell
“Comedy, Music, Bribery
and Conspiracy”
Whenever Mark Russell is down in
the dumps, he opens the newspaper
and cheers up. Practically everything he sees strikes him funny. TV GUIDE has
called him “the funniest man on TV” but
he disagrees. “No, the funniest guys are
on C-SPAN.” He’s now in his 27th
season on PBS. He works live, fresh
and topical, performing stand-up
comedy while accompanying himself
on the piano. The Mark Russell Comedy Specials have consistently been
among
the top-rated shows. Mark readily admits that he dodged the draft. He did
it by
joining the Marine Corps. After serving
his full hitch, he found himself in the
smoke-filled bars of Washington DC, singing his funny songs. Today, his
syndicated column is enjoyed nationally,
as are his CD’s tapes and videos. Mark’s answer to the frequently asked
question, “Do you have any writers?” is “Oh, yes...I have 535 writers. 100 in
the Senate and 435 in the House of Representatives.”
