Folk humorist and comedian Mary Mack spends half her time convincing her Minnesotan mother it’s okay for her daughter to be a comedian and the other half touring North America in her sweet, 400 dollar Dodge Neon--affectionately referred to as “Street Heat.” Mack and her mandolin sing-alongs, have been featured numerous times on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show, XM and Sirius Satellite Radio, and Minnesota's Polka Spotlight. She is currently a writer and performer on Wisconsin Public Radio’s Big River Radio Wave, and has appeared in other public radio spots, as well. After winning the 2005 California's Funniest Female Contest, she went on to appear in the Vancouver Comedy Fest (2007), HBO's Andy Kaufman Awards (2007), Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival (2009), Chicago’s Just For Laughs (2011) and was one of 12 headliners to watch at the San Franciso Sketch Fest (2011). Mack had her national TV debut on Comedy Central's Live at Gotham and NBC's Last Comic Standing. A true Northerner, Mack, however, started her career in Nashville, and now splits her time between Los Angeles and Minneapolis, where she recorded her 2nd album "Either You Wake Up or you Don't" at her home club Acme Comedy Company. This album was followed with “Pinch Finger Girl: A Tragedomedy” recorded in Madison, WI (2009). Mack’s endearing stage presence and off-kilter, musical surprises, stemming from her background as former music teacher and polka bandleader make her popular with a wide array of people around the world.
