Marc Maron is a stand-up comedian by trade. But his performance style is anything but the typical set-up-punchline formula. Maron engages his audience as a storyteller with an intelligence that digs deep into subjects illuminating common truths that usually go unseen. There is a thought provoking excitement watching Maron take the risks of uncharted territory, riffing on topics ranging from corporate domination of the planet to why the cooking channel is the only pure television, always managing to ride that fine line.

Maron has lived in Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco and New York City honing his craft on the best stand-up stages in the country. He is a regular guest on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien", has made two appearances on "Late Show with David Letterman" and has appeared on almost every other television show that allows stand-up comics to perform.

Marc starred in his own "HBO Comedy Half Hour" special in 1995 and his own "Comedy Central Presents: Marc Maron" special in 1998. Maron has guest hosted four episodes of "Late Night with Greg Kinnear" and in 1997 hosted a live, weekly, interactive comedy show on The Microsoft Network (MSN) called "This is Not a Test".

Marc had a supporting role in the comedic feature film "Los Enchiladas" that premiered at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival and last summer filmed a supporting role in Cameron Crowe's "Almost Famous".

In June of 1999, Marc premiered his own one-man show called "Jerusalem Syndrome", a poetically paranoid rant on corporate culture and the quest for spiritual fulfillment. The show chronicles Marc's personal search for religious meaning in such disparate locales as Jack Kerouac's grave, Hollywood, Phillip Morris headquarters, and, finally, Israel. Due to great response, the show was extended twice running from June to November at Nada 45 in New York City.

In February 2000, Marc performed "Jerusalem Syndrome" at the prestigious U.S. Comedy & Arts Festival in Aspen. "Jerusalem Syndrome" then made its Off-Broadway debut on July 19 running through August 26, 2000 at The Westbeth Theater in New York City. Recently, "Jerusalem Syndrome" was published as a novel by Broadway Books.
