A legend in the stand-up community, he has appeared on HBO, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Late Show with David Letterman, and two Comedy Central Presents specials. Most recently, his podcast "WTF with Marc Maron" skyrocketed to #1 on the iTunes comedy charts.

As an added bonus, Thursday night's show will be taken over by Marc's WTF Podcast, and Marc will be interviewing both Janeane Garofalo and Greg Giraldo live from our stage!
