He most recently self-released a one-hour special Out To Lunch on YouTube, which has quickly amassed over 10 million views. An extremely prolific stand-up, he previously had a one-hour and a half hour Comedy Central special and has made an unparalleled seven appearances on Conan, three appearances on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and one appearance on both The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Late Late Show with James Corden. Mark can also be heard on his multiple appearances on The Joe Rogan Experience, dubbed by Jerry Seinfeld as the "best young up and coming comic," or on his own podcast Tuesdays with Stories. Born and raised in New Orleans, surprisingly to two normal parents, he spent most of his childhood making short films and wetting the bed.

Sasha Nezlobin is one of the greatest comedy exports to reach the US market from Russia. A pioneer of the stand-up comedy genre in Russia, Nezlobin was the first Russian/Ukrainian comedian to produce, perform and film a one-hour comedy special. He also directed a sitcom about a female Russian comedian. Nezlobin recently relocated to the United States and has sold out The Hollywood Improv's main room on two separate occasions as part of his past North American tours.
