“There wasn’t a moment in which we weren’t laughing that night—and we are still laughing!!” - Elizabeth M.

“Saw you tonight at Tupelo Music Hall (Londonderry, NH)– laughed myself silly! Thanks so much!” - Liz J.

Since starting his stand up career in Boston, Mark has entertained tens of thousands of people at comedy clubs, colleges and universities, corporate and private events, and religious venues across the United States and Canada for over 20 years. He brings his audiences into the show by being funny, clever, personable and warm. He’s a crowd favorite wherever he goes!

One Night

Several friends attended to watch and cheer Mark on as he performed his first stand up set at a small comedy club near Boston. One of the attendees as his father, Mark Sr. After a few moments of nervousness the first laugh came from the audience. Mark had found his place on stage. Twenty plus years later the feeling of joy he got when his words mixed with the crowd has never left him. He continues to remember that first night and his Dad in every performance.

The Real Test

His first real test as a comic came when he competed in the Boston Comedy Riot, making the semi-final round in 1991 and 1992. He continued to work all around New England and expanded into new markets.

Mark has been invited to many comedy festivals all over the country including: The Boston International Comedy Festival, Seattle International Comedy Festival and the New Orleans Comedy Festival.

“You had them in the palm of their hand. You read the crowd masterfully, and knew just exactly what to do!” - Jeanne (Milton CAT)

Using His Stand-Up Experience

In 1999 he decided to make use of his stand-up comedy experience in character acting. Since then, he has been involved in several theatrical productions and interactive dinner theater for a variety of corporate and private functions.

“Mark Scalia was TERRIFIC – he was the EXACT character and personality we were looking to have.” - Zipporah K. (George Washington University)

On Camera
