Funny Business at The Millroom presents New Orleans native Mark Normand on Saturday, July 11.

Press release from event organizers:

Comedian Mark Normand comes to Asheville to play Funny Business at the Millroom on Saturday, July 11th with shows at 8:00pm and 10:00pm.

Normand is eager to come play Asheville saying, “Can’t wait to get down there. Asheville is a hell of a town. Should be a hoot. Drinks on me!”

In addition to several appearances on INSIDE AMY SCHUMER and his own Comedy Central HALF HOUR special, Mark has appeared on TBS’s CONAN twice, Showtime’s “Live at SXSW”, TruTv, Best Week Ever, Last Comic Standing, @Midnight and released an album with Comedy Central records titled “Still Got It” (it’s not bad).

In 2013, Mark won Caroline’s March Madness competition, beating out 63 other comedians. And this is a real shocker for all of us but he was also voted Village Voice’s “Best Comedian of 2013”. In 2012, Mark appeared on “John Oliver’s New York Standup Show” on Comedy Central, and in 2011 was picked as one of Comedy Central’s “Comics to Watch.”

Mark was born and raised in New Orleans, LA surprisingly to two normal parents. As a kid he spent most of his time shooting short films and wetting the bed. Mark started doing comedy right after college and quickly moved to New York. Mark now does comedy clubs and colleges across the country and has been involved in many festivals including Portland, Seattle, DC, Boston, and was featured as a New Face at the Montreal Comedy Festival.

Mark was named one of Comedy Central’s Comics To Watch for the 2011 New York Comedy Festival. Mark was also named Esquire’s “Best New Comedians 2012”, Splitsider’s “Top 10 Up and Coming Comedians on Each Coast”, and Time Out New York’s “21 New York Comedy Scene Linchpins”.
