Mark Lundholm

From humble beginnings on the streets of Oakland, California, as a homeless criminal, mental patient, to a world-renowned entertainer, Mark Lundholm’s humor is a wild ride of challenges, changes and 2nd chances. Just out of rehab, while performing a 20 Minute comedy routine at San Quentin State Prison, Mark discovered his childhood survival skill of making people laugh was his ticket out. Armed with plenty of material poking fun at the insanity his life had become, Lundholm has worked his way up - literally from the gutter.

Lundholm has had his own Showtime Comedy Special, appeared on A&E, 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.

Mark has lectured, presented and appeared at over 400 professionals' conferences with his seminars "Professionals Empowerment Workshop" and "Humor in Treatment". Both are perfect for the addicted persons in your life or the professionals trying to treat them. Mark is also the creator of the DVD series "Humor in Treatment", a three DVD box set available for professionals to use as a tool for healing and education.

Mark is also the president and CEO of Mark Lundholm Enterprise, Inc. He still performs over 300 shows or presentations per year. Asked how he maintains such a heavy calendar of work he answers humbly: "God has graced each of us with certain skills. With the amount of humor I have been blessed to create, how could I NOT work that much?! This is the job I have because it is the work I was born to do. Why would I stop?!"
