MUSIC & EVENTS
Mark began his journey as a Christmas Performer back in 2021 when he self-produced a Christmas special called “MXRRX CHRXSTMXS, BXG DXG”  (the kids sometimes replace vowels with Xs on the internet)  The special was cozy intimate night filmed in his friend’s living room. It managed to be funny while also capturing the warmth of the holiday season. He continued the tradition with “MXRXX CHRXSTMXS, BXG DXG 2” which filmed at a grungy punk venue in New Jersey, which captured the grittier side of the holiday. Finally, he brought his show to Edinburgh, Scotland for the Fringe Festival, where he performed the show 25 times!
As a stand-up comedian, Mark is very accomplished. He has performed in some of America’s top comedy clubs like The Stand NYC, Indianapolis Helium, TeeHee’s in Des Moines, the Stress Factory, and more. Mark is also an accomplished Roast Battler who is featured weekly on Comedy Fight Club and is the 2021 CFC King of New Jersey."

Crowdwork Christmas

Doors: 7:30pm
Show: 8:00pm
Cost: $10.00

Come hang out at the Belmar Arts Council for a new show called Crowdwork Christmas; hosted by a Jew who loves the holiday! Join NYC stand-up comedian, Mark Henely, in his journey to spread joy, goodwill towards men, and experimental stand up comedy.
But, Crowork Christmas is not just about spreading holiday cheer, it is also an immersive stand up comedy experience. Many stand up comedians go on stage with a rigid set list. Mark has always felt the vibe and energy of the crowd and allowed that energy to naturally dictate the progression of the show. This show will be the next step in that progression where the audience will literally be able to pick which part of the show comes next! It will be a live, in person Holiday “Choose Your Own Adventure” show!"
