"Picture it like cards against humanity but with prison!"

Mark was also responsible for co-creating, producing and performing at the infamous “Comedy Shocker”: Vancouver’s largest and only regular XXX-Rated dark and dirty comedy show.
What do you get when you cross a philosopher with an ex convict? Mark Hughes! Responsible for creating and producing the infamous Comedy Shocker, western Canada’s only recurring XXX-Rated dark and dirty comedy show, Mark uses his sardonic wit and fearless stage presence to share (and overshare) his perspective and life experiences - including the demons that sometimes still affect him to this day. He is also the host of the podcast, "Pulling The Trigger,' where he interviews interesting, unusual, and controversial people.
“I feel like laughing at ourselves is a great way to heal, connect, and bring people together. Mark is the archetype of this. Having come through hell, he now makes fun of it...When you can get 150+ people in a room laughing their asses off at some of their darkest memories, you know you’re part of the solution. Not for the faint of heart; his set was raunchy, and at times bordering on obscene, but everyone knew it was true...Professional, easy to work with, and comfortable at the front of the room in a crowd, Mark brings hilarity to our darkest corners. Can’t wait to have him back!”
