Alsatian-born comedian/author/music artist, ‘Mad Mark’ Wirtz moved to London,
England, as a teenager and became an internationally awarded musician/record
producer for EMI Records, working at Abbey Road studios alongside artists like the Beatles and Pink Floyd.
In 1972, Mark moved to Los Angeles, where he continued his music career while
burning the midnight oil as a burgeoning author. Since then, Mark has published
four novels and countless articles, all typically underscored by his sharply
satirical wit.
While continuing to be regarded as a cult-legend in the music world, growingly being discovered by a whole new generation (his latest music CD, "Love Is Eggshaped," is currently a global bestseller on i-Tunes), in 2006, Mark shifted his priority commitment from Rock'n'Roll to comedy, rendering his music merely peripheral to his comedy writing and performing.
‘Mad Mark’ Wirtz is now based in Tampa, FL, and currently performs in southeastern comedy clubs and beyond, work-shopping his one-man musical comedy show-in-progress, “Cooking For Cannibals.”
