Mark Lundholm

Clean and sober since 1988, Mark Lundholm is a former criminal,
mental patient, homeless wino, resident in a halfway house who started
poking fun at the insanity his life had become. This process continued
and gained momentum, and in a short time an incredibly talented and
energetic entertainer emerged. Beginning with a successful standup
comedy career through 50 states and 10 foreign countries, this comic’s
“drank there, used that” style of humor is now so much more than a
comedy show and beyond a typical conference presentation.

The performance given by Mark Lundholm is a thought-provoking
journey through a man’s decline and his subsequent ascension. Mark
details his battles with addiction in a clever manner that is sometimes
shocking, often heartwarming, and unceasingly honest. This is a fast
paced PG rated show that never fails to leave audiences thinking
differently about themselves and their loved ones. The critics have been
very favorably impressed. The New York Times said, “Mr. Lundholm’s
acerbic powers of observation are quite dark and funny”, and The
Chicago Sun-Times reported, “Lundholm is a terrific performer—
aggressive, funny and charming.”

Lundholm has had his own Showtime Comedy Special, appeared on
Comedy Central and written and starred in three one man shows. The
most notable is a fiercely funny and severely dysfunctional stage play
about chances and choices called Addicted…a comedy of substance.
After playing an extended run off-Broadway and receiving great reviews
from The Post, The New York Times and The Associated Press,
Addicted was voted into the top position as the most highly
recommended show in New York City by The Wall Street Journal’s
Zagat Theatre Survey.

Mark has lectured, presented and appeared at over 300 professionals’
conferences and has never been rated less than excellent! He has
always been approved for CEU’s and has no problem filling any slot on
the program; morning, afternoon or evening. His appearance is always
the most highly attended at the conference. Mark says “half of that is
the humor, half of that is the hope, the other half is something I was
born to do!” No mathematics major, Mark Lundholm is the only speaker
of his kind in this industry or in this country. Please check out the
references sheet for the heavyweight clientele he has already impressed
with his “Professionals Empowerment Workshop” and his “Humor in
Treatment” Seminars. Both are perfect for the addicted persons in
YOUR life or the professionals trying to treat them. Mark is also the
creator of the revolutionary DVD series “Humor in Treatment”, a three
DVD boxed set available for professionals to use as a tool for healing
and education. See the website www.funnyrecovery.com for more
