Mark Placek
Mark is the founder of the "Anything Goes" Showcase at the Edge Comedy Club in Chicago.  He's not a douchebag.  I feel that I need to mention this because the city scene is mostly compiled of men who are not real men.  Most of these guys can't pound a nail and I'm not sure how they ever managed to pound a woman.  Mark strikes me as the kind of guy who has a whole lot more to say than what he says in the city.  Come Dec 4th, he's gonna have his chance.  Kankakee crowds won't cry.
