New York City
Mark Normand was born in New Orleans where he was exposed early
to the odd side of life. He enrolled in the New Orleans Center for
the Creative Arts at the age of 13 and went on to attend the New York
Film Academy and graduated in Drama and Communications from the
University of New Orleans before moving to New York City to take up
comedy full time.
Normand specializes in observational comedy, drawing upon his neurotic
extended family, the everyday cliché and childhood experiences as
fertile subjects. In 2008, Normand was nominated for a ECNY Award
(Best Emerging Comic), was featured in Time Out New York’s ‘Joke of
the week' and performed at the New Orleans Comedy Festival, the DC
Comedy Festival. Normand was featured and parodied by the infamous
magazine Mad Magazine after a magazine staffer witnessed a standout
performance in a New York City bar.
Mark Normand lives and performs in New York City.
