Mark Eddie
Comedy That Rocks
Mark Eddie is a guitarist & musical comedian with a musician’s view on everything from pop music to parenting. With his signature voice & happy-go-lucky spirit, Eddie thoroughly entertains audiences the world over. His one-of-a-kind RockComedy show features songs, jokes, rock & roll history & spot-on singing impressions. Eddie is known for nailing the very essence of artists such as Al Green, Neil Diamond, Shaggy, Dave Mathews, Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison & many more.
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.
