Mark Gagnon

Mark Gagnon at Mic Drop Comedy Detroit

The later Friday slot belongs to Mark Gagnon, a comedian who can be deliberately silly one moment and pointed the next. If you follow his work on Flagrant, this is an opportunity to hear the personality you know in a different format.

Co-hosting the podcast with Andrew Schulz has given listeners one way into Gagnon’s commentary and humor. The stand-up booking offers a different connection to the performer: his own name on your comedy calendar. Go because you like the voice behind those conversations, with an interest in what he brings to his work onstage.

His blend of silly and edgy is a useful guide for someone discovering him, too. Comedy is a matter of taste, and there’s pleasure in choosing a performer who sounds like a fit for yours. Make the plan with somebody who appreciates an irreverent turn and doesn’t need every funny thought to be entirely sensible.

A podcast is one way to hear Mark Gagnon. The late Friday stand-up show is another. Make the 9:30 performance your comedy destination.
