Mark Normand

Rapid-fire one-liners with a filthy, precision-engineered punchline

Mark Normand is the guy who can find the perfectly filthy, perfectly-worded joke about literally anything, and he does it with this rapid-fire, old-school-comic-meets-internet-brain energy that makes every bit feel like it's been polished for a decade even when it's brand new. He's a joke-writer's joke-writer, someone other comics quote to each other, but he's also just flat-out funny in the room, no gimmicks, just relentless one-liners and premises that twist exactly where you didn't expect.

What makes him such a joy is the contrast: he looks and sounds like a fast-talking New York everyman, but the material is razor-sharp and shockingly clean in its construction even when the subject matter is filthy. He's also become one of the best hangout podcasters going, with "We Might Be Drunk" and his other collabs showing off the same quick wit off the cuff that he brings to the stage.

If you like comedy that respects the craft of a joke, tight, punchy, no fat on the bone, Mark's your guy. He'll make you laugh at something and then make you laugh again at how efficiently he got you there.
