Mark Palchick - Motivational Speaker -Comedian Motivational Speaker from Washington, DC

Did you ever notice that when a Comedian is pitching their work it sounds like a bathroom posting (for a good time call). Mark is a comic, motivational speaker and hysterical pontificater. Whether your group is an intimate holiday gathering or a corporate affair with purpose he provides a unique perspective on current events, life in DC, and growing up as an outsider. He has been making corporate groups laugh for over 30 years. He will research your group and provide a comedy performance created just for them. His comedy is never mean (although he does make fun of myself) and it can range, at your choice from Church clean to club clean ( no genitalia jokes, but innuendo and some salty words). If you want more than just laughter, then Mark can deliver that as well. He is a lawyer with over 20 years experience in major D.C. law firms, a former adjunct professor of law and a trained stand up comedian.
