Clean and sober since 1988, Mark Lundholm is a former criminal, mental patient, homeless wino, resident in a halfway house who started poking fun at the insanity his life had become. This process continued and gained momentum, and in a short time an incredibly talented and energetic entertainer emerged. Beginning with a successful standup comedy career through 50 states and 10 foreign countries, this comic’s “drank there, used that” style of humor is now so much more than a comedy show.  The performance given by Mark Lundholm is a thought-provoking journey through a man’s decline and his subsequent ascension. Mark details his battles with addiction in a clever manner that is sometimes shocking, often heartwarming, and unceasingly honest. This is a fast-paced, PG-rated show that never fails to leave audiences thinking differently about themselves and their loved ones. The critics have been very favorably impressed. The New York Times said, “Mr. Lundholm’s acerbic powers of observation are quite dark and funny,” and The Chicago Sun-Times reported, “Lundholm is a terrific performer—aggressive, funny and charming.”     Admission: adults $20, seniors $19, youth $15 “If you don’t feel fragilely alive afterward, you weren’t listening”         The New York Times
