Mark appears and is writer on the hit show MR.D. Mark plays Mr. Leung the odd and angry Librarian. In 2006 Mark won best newcomer at the canadian comedy awards, and won another award in 2009. Mark was also a writer and performer on THE JON DORE TELEVISION show. Mark recently appeared on THE LATE LATE SHOW with CRAIG FERGUSON. 
While not really being the pride of anywhere, Harry Doupe was born and raised in the small town of Fort Langley, British Columbia (the first capital of the province). An award winning comic and writer, he began his comedy career in Vancouver, choosing the Dec. 7th date for his first show carefully I figured no matter how badly I bombed, historically it would be greatly over shadowed over the next few years, Harry Doupe developed a reputation as one of the countries hardest working road comics.
Which the Toronto Star said "It's impossible not to like him", and the Globe and Mail said "The Real treat is the shaggy-dog performance from Belleville"
