This is the YouTube home of Comic/Singer/Songwriter Mark Eddie! Hope you enjoy your visit! Woo hoo!!!
About Me:
Having toured professionally for 14 years as a musician/singer/songwriter, Eddie has a knack for putting a satirical spin on pop anthems, music headlines & rock legends. With guitar in hand & tongue firmly in cheek, he tackles burning questions like: How does music of the 70′s, 80′s & 90′s stack up to today's hits? How are heavy metal & polka similar? "They're either brief moments of genius, or I have way too much time on my hands", says Eddie with a grin.
As if performing 250+ shows a year at theaters & major corporate events for names like Verizon®, Bayer®, Disney® & Vans® isn't enough, Eddie has also spoken &/or sung some of the most recognizable spots for Nickelodeon®, Showtime®, Nintendo® & Sears® among others.
Before comedy, Eddie *the musician* toured extensively opening for national acts like Jackson Browne, Melissa Etheridge & Toad the Wet Sprocket. While being singled out twice in Billboard Magazine®, nominated 5 times for the NACA® "Campus Entertainment Awards" and topping the CMJ® charts again & again, Eddie had a burning desire to explore comedy. Today Eddie *the comedian* tours internationally & headlines L.A.'s legendary comedy venues where he's known for rapid-fire rock references. "One day, I went from rock musician to rock comedian", says Eddie.
Dozens of charities and fundraisers are at the top of his priority list too. Eddie is a Type-1 diabetic and is committed to The American Diabetes Association (ADA), The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) & St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. His Paradigm® Insulin Pump keeps him "in tune" both at home and on tour. "It's my little Pocket-Pancreas", he says half-jokingly.
