Some people say Mark & Ari (Mark Sarian and Ari Voukydis) are a comedy duo based out of New York City’s Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, where they’ve performed improv and sketch comedy since 1998. Since that time, they have written, performed and produced numerous shows. They’re first two-man sketch show, Hooray for Mark & Ari!, was selected for the 2004 Chicago Improv Festival. In 2006, Mark & Ari were finalists in JibJab.com’s, The Great Sketch Experiment, where they had their winning sketch shot and directed by legendary director John Landis (Animal House, Blues Brothers). In 2007 Mark & Ari's sketch show LOFT performed as part of the Los Angeles Comedy Festival and then in 2008 at the San Francisco Sketchfest. Other people, primarily children and the insane, say that Mark & Ari are mythical aqua-beasts, half man and half shark, patrolling the ocean floor in search of crimes to fight and lives to save.
