Mark West

Mark West
Mark West is a stand-up comedian who grew up on the "mean streets of Ballwin," in St. Louis County. He is a natural storyteller whose comedy comes straight from his own, ridiculous, anxiety-riddled life. Whether talking about bad decisions, terrible jobs or awkward encounters Mark's stories border on the absurd yet are easily relatable to comedy fans everywhere. 

His laid-back style and sharp sense of timing, make his shows seem less like a comedy set and more like your funniest friend telling you stories over coffee.

Mark's humor is a blend of self-deprecation, daily observations and vulnerability leading to performances that are personal, slightly judgemental and laugh-out-loud funny.

Mark proves that the worst life experiences easily make for best comedy.
