The Manic Musings of Mark West

“It’s funny ‘cause it’s true!” —H. Simpson

Mark West
More humorist than comic, Mark West shares some of the craziest, weirdest, and funniest moments of his own real life; his inimitable style of delivery a hilarious mixture of frustration, tongue-in-cheek cynicism, and total disbelief.

The restaurant scene of his wait staff day job, his past vocations and avocations, his personal failures and foibles, and the seemingly unending string of wonderfully odd and funny people he’s encountered along the way…all are fodder for an expansive “recipe” making up the strange delicacy that is Mark West.

Singer-songwriter Hannah Wozniak has appeared at the Blue Strawberry before as a feature performer but tonight she joins her friend Mark West as his opening musical act and all around supporter. 

Besides working in the St. Louis area as a solo act, accompanying herself on piano and/or guitar, Hannah performs and records with the band Saint Chuck, who released their debut album Acting Like Adults in April of 2025. She can also be found singing with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra’s In Unison Chorus.
