Mark Reedy

Veteran comedian Mark Reedy likes to claim Cleveland as his home, even if he wasn't born here. He's been nicknamed "Mr. Positive" because his set aims to uplift and inspire the crowd rather than degrade anyone or anything. Most of his material is based on his own experiences. He wants people to know that they always have a chance to start over — he grew up around the wrong crowd and managed to completely turn his life around. He performs tonight at 7 at the Improv. Tickets are $15. (Martin Harp)
