For more than 32 years, political satirist Mark Russell entertained audiences with material ripped from the headlines. Russell's final performance was at the historic Carolina Theatre of Greensboro on October 30, 2016; just as the 2016 presidential election cycle really heated up. Known for skewering Democrats and Republicans alike, Russell’s unique brand of comedy earned him the Mark Twain Award for political comedy and has made him a popular favorite on PBS. Long before Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, there was Mark Russell, daring to joke and sing of the often absurd political process.
