Mark Cordes
A late comer to the world of comedy, Cordes was drawn into this funny world after his divorce. He states "I tried stand up one night on a dare, and I was hooked. I realized it was time to chase my dream. My personal life had bottomed out, so telling strangers about it was great therapy." From his humble start at an open mic, he steadily worked his way up the comedy ladder. From the opening act to feature act to Headlining the top comedy clubs and corporate events from coast to coast, Cordes has enjoyed the ride. "I realized everyday how fortunate I am to do what I love. To be able to travel, meet interesting people and make peope laugh. Laughter is a gift I enjoy sharing. And I know I'll never run out of material, because I just got married, and so…" In October 1998 the Minneapolis Start-Tribune wrote: "The definition of stand up comedy! Cordes is a master jokesmith – sophisticated, clever and clean. Mark slips lightly through a maze of laugh lines, never missing a beat. With impeccable timing, comfortable charm and innovative, intelligent material, Mark establishes himself as a first-rate crowd pleaser and top notch comedian."
