Mark Russell

"Washington's Other Monument"

Mark Russell, Musical Political Satire Comedian Whenever Mark Russell is down in the dumps, he opens the newspaper and immediately cheers up. Practically everything he sees strikes him funny. "Some days," he says, "the jokes jump off the pages and write themselves."

TV Guide has called Mark Russell "the funniest man on television." But, he disagrees: "The funniest guys are always on C-SPAN."

Mark’s popular series began on PBS in 1975. He works dangerously live, fresh and topical, performing standup comedy even when accompanying himself on the piano. THE MARK RUSSELL COMEDY SPECIALS have consistently been among the top-rated shows on that network.

Mark Russell readily admits that when he was a kid 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, D.C., singing his funny songs. When he got a job in a Capitol Hill bar where congressmen went to drink, the first thing he thought was, "I've started at the bottom, but I've managed to work my way down."

Around the time that the New Frontier was invading Washington, Mark Russell invaded the Shoreham Hotel for a risky two-week engagement – that lasted 20 years. He left the Shoreham in 1980 after making The Marquee Lounge the place where, every night, politicians would come to hear Mark’s jokes about the things they had done that day.

Today, Mark spends most of the year on the road. His syndicated column is enjoyed all over America, as are his CDs, tapes and videos. Russell fans in D.C. can catch Mark during his popular January stint at Ford's Theatre.

People constantly marvel at Mark's wealth of fresh material and frequently ask "Do you have any writers?" Honest to a fault, he's always quick to admit "Oh, yes, I have 535 of them – 100 in the Senate and 435 in the House of Representatives!"
