We kick things off with comedian Mark Viera, straight out of the Bronx. He shares how old-school sitcoms and growing up in the city shaped his style—and he’s live in Rosemont, IL tonight!

Mark Viera is a seasoned stand-up comedian and actor hailing from the Bronx, New York. Known to fans as “The Latin Prince,” he blends high-energy storytelling with vivid character impressions, often drawing from his Puerto Rican heritage and upbringing.

Viera's passion for comedy ignited during his childhood, inspired by classic TV shows from the 1970s and '80s. He began his stand-up career at the renowned Stand Up New York Comedy Club on Broadway, eventually becoming a regular performer at top venues like Caroline’s on Broadway and Gotham Comedy Club
