As part of the New York Comedy Festival, Mark Vigeant will present his high energy, vulnerable, award-winning, comedic play, MARK PLEASES YOU at Caveat NYC. The narrative solo event, directed by Joanna Simmons, concluded a full run at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, wrapped a sold-out run at the 13th annual Hollywood Fringe Festival, and will be presented at Caveat Sunday, November 12th. The play explores the tremendous price of people-pleasing:
For his entire life, comedian Mark Vigeant did everything he possibly could to make everyone around him happy. The moment he decides to change gears and focus on himself, a freak accident kills him onstage. After being sent directly to hell, Mark is given one chance to convince his 11-year-old self not to be a people-pleaser. The only problem? Mark hates that fat, stupid idiot.
Mark Vigeant is a comedian in Los Angeles. His solo show, Let’s Make a Website, had a sold-out run at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater in New York before touring the country from the Kennedy Center to Comedy Central’s Clusterfest. Credits include the San Francisco, Austin, Toronto, Boston, and New York Sketchfests, New York Comedy Festival, National College Comedy Festival, Jangleheart Circus, Hell Yes Fest, and the Del Close Marathon. His work has been featured in the Daily Dot, the Village Voice, The AV Club, TimeOutNY, FunnyOrDie, the New York Times, and our little establishment. Get to know Mark just a little bit better this November!
