Grand piano used in stand-up comedy requires piano player to... play standing up!


Stand up Washington comic singer songwriter
Mark Russell in 1976 is still working his club today!


I used to watch Mark Russel whenever I could, on channel 8, PBS, while growing up through the 1970's. I caught him off and on through the 80's and 90's and apparently, according to an acquaintance of his I met at my piano-dinner restaurant, he's still doing his gig! I saw Mark Russel on a TV interview about 5 years ago but never actually used youtube to look him up until today. This is an excellent use of the piano and constitutes the "etc." part of PianoLessonsEtc.com.
