From Hanging with Mr. Cooper

Since his long running show “Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper”, which is still in syndication in 6 countries, ended he has continued his TV, film, and stand up career.

He continues to have a heavy stand-up schedule performing over 200 comedy clubs, university and corporate dates a year. He has also been touring the globe with shows in London, Australia just to name a few. His sold out tour of Africa was a history- making event. This show in Tanzania was the first comedy show ever in the country. It was also historical because free testing for AIDS was offered at the venue. Mark is a favorite of many Fortune 500 companies such as Delta, Coca Cola, and Sprint where he makes annual appearances at their corporate events.
