Mark Saldana is one of the hottest young comics in the country. While
rising to the top with his smart jokes and fireball sarcasm, he has one
big difference: He's Indian.
But don't expect turbans and curry. He's more about hockey and video
games. Mark is a young, brash American who talks being Indian in today's
society, being mistaken for terrorists, and disappointing his Indian
doctor mother. One radio DJ referred to him as "Gandhi…if Gandhi
drank beer and always talked about Britney Spears."
The LA Times called him "The best Indian…if not Asian comic in the
country". His near decade of performing in 40 states and 3 countries
has gotten him featured in USA Today, Associated Press, New York Times,
and his comedy writing published in Harpers Weekly. Mark made his television
debut in 2004 on SiTV's "Latino Laff Festival", and also appeared
on NBC's "Last Comic Standing 2" and "Girls Behaving Badly" on
the Oxygen Network. This year he will perform on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel
Live".
