Jake Sharon and Mark Lee were in town this past Oct. 28 and they entertained us with weird and bizarre, yet refined, stories. (Some of them involving poop) But these two were great performers and the crowd at Maverick's Bar & Grill  loved every second of it.

The show was hosted by local comedian Phil Robinet, "Phildo" has performed at the comic strip and has performed as a guest at comedy clubs all over Texas. Next on the stage was comedian Mark Lee. Mark's high-energy comedy is original, sometimes completely absurd, his unpredictable style constantly leaves people wondering what he will do next.  He can be seen playing the principle role of “Jimmy” in the Emmy award winning “Tell Me Something I Don’t Know”.  Mark is a regular at the legendary Comedy Works in Denver, where he has with Jamie Kennedy, Aisha Tyler, Kevin Pollak,  Joe Rogan, and many other notables. Headliner Jake Sharon made the finals in USA's Show Us Your Character contest, appeared on Elimidate, took 1st in the Starz/ Jumpcut Stand-up Contest, and made it into the 2005 and 2006 Boston Comedy Festival. Check out the pictures from the show and be sure to keep checking out the show!
