Comedian Mark Chalifoux brings laughs and cookies to the troops!

BY Dr. Brian King

March is a big month at Paddy’s, given it includes my favorite holiday, National Oreo Cookie Day!* Good thing I bought all that milk in anticipation of last month’s snowstorms. Naw, of course I’m talking about St. PADDY’S Day. This March 17th, I expect to be knee deep in green beer and bad choices. I already called in sick for the 18th in advance.

But I expect a full recovery by the 19th as I’ll be hosting for some amazing comedians including our featured performer this month: Mark Chalifoux.

Mark is a nationally touring stand-up comedian and has been featured on Nate Bargatze's Nateland, and on The Bob & Tom Show. His comedy may just be exactly what you need to nurse what I can only expect will be an epic Paddy’s Day hangover. His Dry Bar special has been viewed by millions, and his album, “Think Fast”, was called “one of the funniest albums of the year” by the Daily Dot.

He has written for ESPN, CBS and some newspapers, but my favorite Mark Chalifoux credit is the time he was accidentally included in a family’s group chat. The family, who did not realize their error, asked if anyone wanted to send a care package to a soldier on deployment. Mark got the idea to send him 3,000 Oreos and eventually raised enough on a GoFundMe to send 9,000 cookies to the soldier’s platoon.

I guess I’m not the only fan of National Oreo Day.
