ABOUT THE COMEDIANS:
Mark Evans
Mark always loved comedy growing up and used to sneak down stairs and hide behind the couch to watch the Tonight Show, espec ially if George Carlin or Rodney Dangerfield was a guest. He never, in a million years, dreamed he would ever do stand-up; he wasn’t even the Class Clown! He first got behind a microphone in his mid 20’s when he became a DJ at Studebaker’s in Atlanta.
He had so much fun I started doing open mic’s at every chance.
Since then it has been an amazing ride! He has performed in almost every state (46), several cruise ships, and a number of countries. Mark has worked with some giants in the comedy world like: Jeff Foxworthy, Dave Chapelle, Jeff Dunham, Bill Engvall, Ron White and more!
You know that old saying about finding something you love to do, then finding a way to get paid for it means you never have to go to work again? It could not be truer. Mark feels that he gets to wake up every day and continue to chase his dream!
Lori Evans
After a rewarding career as an elementary school teacher, Lori graduated from the classroom to the stage. Stand-up was a natural progression for her, as she realized that performing at a comedy club is not that different from standing in front of a room full of six-year-olds. She has taken 33 years of hilarious interactions with kids that made her “head explode” and is now making audiences explode with laughter.
But there’s a lot more to Lori than just just being a teacher. She is dangerously over-educated, having four college degrees, including a PhD, and was even a contestant on the TV game show, Jeopardy. (She did not win.) Since then, Lori has taken her smart brand of humor across the country and overseas, always to great reviews. So come on out and let her make YOUR head explode!
