Mark Poolos was born and raised in Edina, Minnesota. To start his career he co-starred in two independent films "Attack of the Killer Snow Cone Zombies" and "Joanie Loves Furbies". After his performances in those two films there wasn't a person who didn't know his name. He did more films, some commercials and some theater but it wasn't enough. Mark needed that instant connection. So he began his stand-up comedy career. Mark is 6'7" 350 technically a giant but a bumbling one. In Mark's routine he weaves real stories about life as a jolly giant and a very unique point of view at life to create his own style of comedy.
