PURE ROCK & LOL!!!

Mark Eddie is an international comedian with a musician’s point-of-view on everything from pop culture to parenting.  With his guitar, signature voice & happy-go-lucky spirit, Eddie points out quirky things in the music we love while delivering dead-on musical impressions of Al Green, Neil Diamond, Shaggy, Dave Mathews and more.

Having toured professionally for 14 years as a musician/singer/songwriter, Eddie has a knack for putting a satirical spin on pop anthems, music headlines & rock legends.  With guitar in hand & tongue firmly in cheek, he tackles burning questions like:  How does music of the 70′s, 80′s & 90′s stack up to today’s hits?  How are heavy metal & polka similar?   “They’re either brief moments of  genius, or I have way too much time on my hands”, says Eddie with a grin.

As if performing 250+ shows a year at theaters & major corporate events for names like Verizon®, Medtronic MiniMed® Bayer®, Disney® & Vans® isn’t enough,  Eddie has also spoken &/or sung some of the most recognizable spots for Nickelodeon®, Showtime®, Nintendo® & Sears® among others.

Before comedy, Eddie *the musician* toured & opened for national acts like Jackson Browne, Melissa Etheridge & Toad the Wet Sprocket.  While being singled out twice in Billboard Magazine®, nominated 5 times for the NACA® “Campus Entertainment Awards” and topping the CMJ® charts again & again, Eddie had a burning desire to explore comedy.  Today Eddie *the comedian* tours internationally & headlines LA’s legendary comedy venues.  “One day,  I  went from rock musician to rock comedian”, says Eddie.   But, whether on stage as a comedian or as part of an elite All-Star Band with members of The Doors, Fleetwood Mac, Boston, No Doubt, The Doobie Brothers or Steely Dan, Mark Eddie will make you smile with his beaming, positive energy.

Dozens of charities & fundraisers are at the top of Eddie’s priority list too.   A Type-1 diabetic since age 4, Eddie is committed to The American Diabetes Association (ADA), The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) & St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.   His Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm® Insulin Pump keeps this ultra-active diabetic performer “in tune” both at home and on tour.  “I call it my little Pocket-Pancreas”,  he says half-jokingly.
