He's the Funniest Man in Athens!

Friday Night, Marc was voted Athens Last Comic Standing!


He had a looong week last week full of homecoming activities. Street painting at midnight. Meetings until late in the evening. A concert. A comedian. And one night when he came home early, he had to go back to work twice. Then Friday was the homecoming parade followed by the finals of Athens Last Comic Standing. And he did all this while fighting a nasty sinus infection and mild fever.


(For some reason, the club decided to have a smoke machine with strange stage lighting. So the pictures I took kinda stink.)

We are so grateful for all our friends who came out to watch the show and vote for Marc. Jenny and Sean came in from Nashville, Kirsten and Justin came in from Atlanta and Connie came up from Augusta. And we had our fabulous Athens friends join us, too.


This win was bittersweet for Marc, though. His fellow finalist for this round was Eric, one of Marc's former Union students. Marc and Eric are good friends and Marc mentored Eric on getting into comedy. So when Marc won, he felt bad that Eric couldn't win, too. (But if Marc had lost, he would have been happy for Eric but mad that he wasn't the winner!)

I am so proud of my funny man!
