Mark Russell – The Laughter of Politics at Florida Theatre

Just in time for Election Day it’s the nation’s premiere political comedian/musical satirist! Before a celebrated 30-year Public TV career singing and joking about the absurdity of our politics, Mark Russell started playing piano in a Capitol Hill lounge, working with 535 writers (100 in the Senate, 435 in the House), and building a reputation as “the” entertainer for politicians to hear joke about their work. He himself has been parodied on The Simpsons, SNL, and 30 Rock!
