Mark shares about some of the struggles of being a comedian during a pandemic, and he is excited to begin doing live shows again. He started some online shows called Comedy Test Kitchen to keep bringing the funny.

He shares about how rough of a start the Comedy Test Kitchen was but they have ironed out the tech details.

Mark says he has always been comfortable with failing and comedy requires a high tolerance for failure. It's all about volume. You fail enough and you get confidence along the way.

In his first performance, he did a "Murder She Wrote" joke that bombed. There was one part that did well and he came back next week and got a little better.  

"What's the difference between a pizza and a stand-up comedian? - The pizza can feed a family of four." - Mark Masters

We talk in-depth about unicorns and being a professional, and the unicorn of the sea... the majestic narwhal.  

Mark shares how he breaks the common trope that comedians come from pain and anguish, he had the most wonderful parents in the work. They were the best at fighting because they practiced all the time. They've been married for over 52 years.  

Sarah shared her vacation story in hopes that Mark will use it in an upcoming show. 

Mark is a clean comedian and he talks about the culture of fear of offending and cancel culture.
