As part of WNY stand up we present MARK SALDANA. He’s funny. JUUST funny enough for us to forgive those headshots he took in a Habs Sweater.  HABS? ?? In honor of Last night Sabres victory,  we present MARK SALDANA

Mark Saldana is one of the hottest young comics in the country. Currently starring in # 1 new show Fanarchy on The Versus Network, Saldana’s star continues to rise. He has become one of the most talked about sports commentators on the show, as Yardbarker.com ranked him # 1 most popular personality on the show because he is “the most likeable and funniest”.

Saldana has headlined clubs and colleges in 40 states and 3 countries. While rising to the top with his biting sarcasm and library of pop culture references, he has one big difference: He’s Indian. But don’t expect turbans and curry. He’s more about hockey and video games. Mark is a young, brash American who talks being Indian in today’s society, being mistaken for terrorists, and disappointing his Indian doctor mother. One radio DJ referred to him as “Gandhi…if Gandhi drank beer and always talked about Facebook.”

The LA Times called him “The best Indian…if not Asian comic in the country”. Saldana has gotten featured in USA Today, Associated Press, New York Times, and his comedy writing published in Harpers Weekly. Mark made his television debut in 2004 on SiTV’s “Latino Laff Festival” and also appeared on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing”, “Comedy Zen”, and “Girls Behaving Badly” on the Oxygen Network.
