For July I have been hosting this show with the above silly and long title. It is at 8pm at The Upstairs Gallery in Andersonville. The Mark Weber Show has, for me, been an experiment in extreme fun. Each week a special guest displays their talent and me and my favorite people to play with improvise scenes inspired by their performance. It's been a big success!
However, people have consistently asked me: "Who is Mark Weber?" Very good question.
He is my brother. Two years younger than me, but very close to me. Growing up I really don't remember us fighting. Especially as teenagers. Probably when I was about fourteen and he was twelve, we truly became best pals. My brother was always one of my favorite people to hang out with. He's easy-going, smart, hilarious. The kind of person that thinks almost everything is funny and will laugh for hours about it. I've always loved how something silly might happen and we will look at each other and wordlessly know exactly what we both are thinking. We did almost everything together. We both did martial arts and when I broke my hip and couldn't do it anymore, Mark stopped also. When I joined choir, Mark joined choir. We both began taking an interest in theatre. We made movies with our cousins and the two of us even wrote our zombie films together and only last summer Mark and I wrote a terrible one-act play together (Nightmare Thunder still has yet to debut). When he lived here he gladly auditioned for my sketch show (using a copy of Vin Deisel's resume handwritten on notebook paper as his own resume). Mark is the best and so he deserves to have a show named after him. Mostly because I knew he would think it was funny.
Do you think he sounds cool? He is and you can find out for yourself this coming Wednesday at 8pm! Mark Weber will be attending The Mark Weber Show! Dreams
do come true!
