Marcus: Free Show Tonight & Sunday

comment
Salt Lake City comedian Marcus released his new DVD (The Hand That Feeds) and CD (Hell Oh Well) on Halloween weekend. You didn't go. So he's doing a pair of free make-up shows this week. ---

Tonight and Sunday the 14th, Marcus be performing at Wiseguys Trolley Square (505 S. 600 East), no cover. Doors open at 6 pm, showtime at 8 pm, first-come first-serve seating.

Note that the DVD and CD are completely different performances recorded at different times: The Hand That Feeds was filmed in the spring for a possible Comedy Central slot, while Hell Oh Well was taped more recently (at the Trolley Square Wiseguys) after a series of Chinese Democracy-esque false starts. That adds up to several hours of new, original comedy; you should buy both, because this kind of DIY undertaking ain't cheap--especially on a comedian's budget. Just ask Eliza Schlessinger, if you can find her.

Here's a clip from The Hand That Feeds, filmed at Kingsbury Hall earlier this year:
