Music Comic Mark Eddie recently performed in Scottsdale, Arizona for The Arizona Diamondbacks - The Major League Baseball Team - and let us in on some of the highlights of the night. Check out his synopsis and photos from the event - including Mark's very own official Team Jersey.

Arizona Diamondbacks' Team Owner Ken Kendrick and Mark Eddie.

Basically I was in Scottsdale, Arizona performing for "The Arizona Diamondbacks" MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM! It was an event for the organization and players during which I sat and had dinner with Ken Kendrick (Team Owner), Willie Bloomquist (Star Outfielder), Derrick Hall (Diamondbacks' President) and another star player on the team. They even presented me with an official team jersey! I'm Number 11, and I guess I'm officially the "Team Rock Comic!" I'll be sitting right with the team in the dug-out during their upcoming games in LA! Geez, hope my Dodger Fan friends don't hate me too much.

Music Comic Mark Eddie | Nando's Comedy Festival Review From A New Fan's Perspective

When Music Comic Mark Eddie performed in South Africa as part of Nando's Comedy Festival, he won over a number of new fans, including this one, who wrote a glowing review of Mark and the show. Check it out below:

A Review: The Durbs Comedy Fest
By Jil from Zero31.co.za

Mark Eddie kicked off the Nando's Comedy Festival concert with insanely good impersonations of muso's and showed off some seriously good guitar skills. He engaged with the audience from the get go, setting the vibe and pace for the evening. After his set, he introduced us to the next act, Dan Cummins. He was fuh-nee, poking fun at how bizarrely slow Durban moves. It's true, you can't deny it.

Mark Eddie with one of South Africa's most famous and loved comedians Nik Rabinowitz!

Next up was Capetonian Nik Rabinowitz. The one speaks fluent Xhosa, rad! He owned the crowd with his different SA cultural impersonations. Then came a Mr. Michael Loftus. He's one of the writers for the George Lopez show. He's an old hand at this, he was comfortable and did his thing, laughing at his own jokes. Love it when they do that…

...Back onto the stage after him was the talented Mark Eddie. Between each comedian he'd do a little set then introduce then next guy. He is a talented guitar player, and I really dug the way he incorporated the whole muso thing into his sets. He ended it by saying he wished he was in a band, --and whoosh! The curtains behind him dropped and a full band was set up and within seconds they were jamming. Lights flashing, sound roaring through the auditorium. An epic way to end a hilarious evening. Everyone cheered.

We laughed far too much. Definitely a win for a Friday night. If you didn't go, you missed out massively! Dark Knight and I left with happy hearts, sore stomach muscles and pained cheeks...
