November 26, 2025We hired Mark to do a fake meeting in one of our offices as a prank for our annual company Christmas video. He was fantastic. Incredibly believable and very easy to work with.

October 18, 2025Mark and his partner did an absolutely fantastic job with our 1690s Masquerade Ball. It was set in the time of King Louis XIV of France, and mirrored after his ball at Fontainebleau.
Mark was on time, an excellent actor with a great personality. He was able to to interact with the guests and think of funny things on the spot to say. He was in costume and did an excellent job. Really enjoyed the experience.
