Mark Henderson

Yes, he does stand 5'5" tall, but there is a lot of comedy in this small stature of a man.  Marc Henderson, burst on the comedy circuit six years as an open mic’er in his native hometown of Chicago, quickly realizing that he had a God given talent. With so many African American comics being influenced by many black comedy television shows, he aspired to do something different. He wanted to perform his comedy without profanity. Being raised with a strong Christian background, he had to stay true to the values and teaching instilled in him. Marc displayed that the profanity and explicitness doesn't make the comedy, but the delivery of the topic is where the real humor is.
Marc's comedy is made up of such subjects as, being single, life from a short perspective, working crazy jobs and different experiences at church. The most appealing thing about his comedy is that it's refreshing and appeals to all audiences, no matter their age, color, or height. Always knowing that laughter is good for the soul, he knew that his comedy act would be more then just for the comedy clubs. . He has already brought laughter to several church organizations and corporate functions across the United States. He has also made a television appearance on  B.E.T's Comic View, Streaming Faith's it's time to laugh and Black Family Channel's God Ain't No Joke.  Marc has also toured on the Laughalujah christian comedy tour.
Marc's overall quest is to spread the joy of laughter to as many crowds as he is able to perform in front of. So watch out for this hot and upcoming comic in your town. And remember the next time you're looking for something BIG in comedy, start off small. About 5'5"tall. Because, "Good comedy comes in small packages!"

SHAUN JONES

sean_jones.jpg

I'm a professional stand up comedian, which I have been for about 14 years. I'm a proud father of three blessings from God. That's three children for you slow people. I'm very good and dedicated to what I do. I'm not saying that in a conceited way, I'm just blessed by God with a talent and I am truly thankful for it. I've been blessed and fortunate to have traveled to many places in my career. I've been seen on a few television shows, such as 5 seasons of B.E.T's Comic View, Robert Townsend's "Partners in Crime, Black Starz "1st Amendment Stand-Up, NBC's "Later" and I was a principle character, Mr.Ose, in the 2004 movie "Shade", starring Jamie Foxx, Sylvester Stallone, Gabriel Byrnes, Melanie Griffith and several other talented and successful actors and actresses. If I had to say what kind of person Shaun Jones is, I would have to say, I'm a dedicated friend, very hard worker, when I want to be, a true black man that's trying to break the stereotyped image of the black man and take care of my children and my business.
