By Ernest Kearney — Mark Vigeant might easily be mistaken for the 1883 eruption of the Krakatoa volcano which produced the loudest recorded sound in modern history; or the Chicxulub impactor that slammed into earth some 66 million years ago providing mammals with their gateway to dominance and Steven Spielberg with a great franchise; Vigeant could even be confused with the Big Bang. (Meaning the scientific hypothesis of the universe’s creation 13.7 billion years ago, not the 2007-2019 Chuck Lorre sit-com.)
But while Vigeant packs as much punch as the aforementioned trio, he is way, way funnier.
In his show Mark Pleases You, Vigeant provides enough wackiness to overload the largest three rings any circus has ever had to offer. There’s clowning, juggling, mortality, a short visit to hell, a satanic bargain, Asimovian time-tripping, ego confrontation, inner-child love-fest, shadow confrontation, multimedia, fat shaming, interpretive dance, and Seal’s greatest hits!
I sat in the audience expecting to have a kitchen sink land in my lap at any moment, which I probably wouldn’t have noticed as I was laughing so hard.
Absolutely inspired hilarity delivered by a comic cheetah.
A Platinum Medal plus!
