Mark Fernandez
Hilarious Comedian / Awesome Friend
Highly talented comic? Yes. Seasoned archaeologist of pop culture's forgotten corners? Also a yes. With a rapier wit and an encyclopedic mind, Mark excavates the bizarre and hilarious artifacts of the 70s and 80s, connecting the dots between obscure TV shows, forgotten commercials, and the strange career choices of yesteryear's celebrities. He's the guy who can tell you why Gene Rayburn's microphone was so long, dissect the absurdity of Rick Springfield's acting-singing career, and explain the cultural significance of "Untidy Samuels." From the depths of the Comedy Store to the far reaches of retro trivia, Mark's comedy is a masterclass in nostalgia, proving that the past is a treasure trove of comedic gold, waiting to be unearthed.
