An Alcohol-Free Evening of 12-step humor for the chemically challenged!
Clean and sober since 1988, Mark Lundholm is a former criminal,
mental patient, homeless wino, resident in a halfway house who started
poking fun at the insanity his life had become. This process continued
and gained momentum, and in a short time an incredibly talented and
energetic entertainer emerged. Beginning with a successful standup
comedy career through 50 states and 10 foreign countries, this comic’s
“drank there, used that” style of humor is now so much more than a
comedy show and beyond a typical conference presentation.
The performance given by Mark Lundholm is a thought-provoking
journey through a man’s decline and his subsequent ascension. Mark
details his battles with addiction in a clever manner that is sometimes
shocking, often heartwarming, and unceasingly honest. This is a fast
paced PG rated show that never fails to leave audiences thinking
differently about themselves and their loved ones. The critics have been
very favorably impressed. The New York Times said, “Mr. Lundholm’s
acerbic powers of observation are quite dark and funny”, and The
Chicago Sun-Times reported, “Lundholm is a terrific performer—
aggressive, funny and charming.”
Lundholm has had his own Showtime Comedy Special, appeared on
Comedy Central and written and starred in three one man shows. The
most notable is a fiercely funny and severely dysfunctional stage play
about chances and choices called Addicted…a comedy of substance.
After playing an extended run off-Broadway and receiving great reviews
from The Post, The New York Times and The Associated Press,
Addicted was voted into the top position as the most highly
recommended show in New York City by The Wall Street Journal’s
Zagat Theatre Survey.
