Mark Normand

Mark Normand is playing Helium Comedy Club in Portland from October 22 to October 24, 2026, with shows starting at 9:30 PM. He's a New Orleans-born stand-up who's spent years on the road, and this is a multi-night run rather than a one-off, so you've got a few dates to choose from.

If you haven't seen him, Normand is a high-volume joke writer. Jerry Seinfeld once called him the "best young up and coming comic," and he's built a career on that kind of punchline-heavy style. He starred in the third season of Netflix's The Stand Ups and released the one-hour special SOUP TO NUTS on Netflix in 2023, which stayed in the streamer's Top Ten for several weeks. That followed his 2020 self-released special OUT TO LUNCH, which pulled in more than 12 million views on YouTube. He's also put out two Comedy Central specials.

He's a regular on the late-night circuit, with seven appearances on Conan, four on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and three on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He's a frequent guest on The Joe Rogan Experience as well. When he's not on stage, he hosts two podcasts, Tuesdays with Stories and We Might Be Drunk.

Between the Netflix specials and the late-night spots, he's toured internationally, playing in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Spain, Norway, and Portugal. He's a road warrior in the truest sense, and this Portland run is part of that. The shows run from October 22 through October 24 at Helium Comedy Club, with the 9:30 PM start time the same for each night.
