MARK CORDES
Mark Cordes is an inventive comedian and humorist. He has been hailed by critics as a "One Man Laugh Factory". Having toured and worked with stars like David Sanborn, Kenny G, Ray Charles, Harry Connick, Jr., Little River Band, and dozens of others, it is evident that his humor and versatility is in great demand.
Mark was raised in Kansas City, Missouri and attended the University of Missouri. In 1983 he moved to the Valley of the Sun and began selling the "American Dream" ...real estate for Coldwell Banker. 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 realize every day how fortunate I am to do what I love. To be able to travel, meet interesting people, and make people laugh is a gift I enjoy sharing. And I know I'll never run out of material. I just got married, and so..."
In October 1998 the Minneapolis Star-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."
