His impressions of Wolfman Jack, Richard Nixon and Henry Winkler's Happy Days' television character "The Fonz" earned him a held-over spot on the afternoon show for the grade 8 students. Since that time, Mark has gone on to become one of Canada's most celebrated comedian/voice impressionist. 
Although Canadian and American audiences have been howling at Jim McNally for over a decade now, he is becoming more and more recognized lately after stellar performances at the Ha!lifax Comedy Festival and on CTV's "Comedy NOW!".
Jim is a comedian with an irreverent outlook that blends big city wit with small town cheekiness. His Irish, story-telling roots shine through in his performances which weave observations of the everyday into stories from his own life to highlight the absurdities of the world we live in. Jim's spontaneous and engaging style, quick wit, and knack for seeing the outlandish make him a natural, versatile performer who leaves audiences doubled over with laughter and wanting more.

Scott's unique improvisational stage presence and witty observational style led Hour Magazine to label him one of Montreal's 'most promising' stand-up comedians. Since then, Scott has taken his stand up act all over North America and the UK, where critics have described him as a 'goy Woody Allen' and 'insanely hilarious'.
