He’s the same person on stage as he is off stage, and it’s not always guaranteed to pretty, but it’s always guaranteed to hilarious.

As if he cares.

In this Tight 5 with Punchline Magazine’s Dylan Gadino, Marc discusses the problem with the term “rebel”, how he deals with psychological obstacles, and the zen of airplane bathroom mirrors.

You can catch Mr. Maron perform his critically acclaimed solo show “Scorching the Earth” September 24-26th at the Lakeshore Theater in Chicago, Ill.

She’s even skyped on Oprah. Top that.

The critically acclaimed series, A Tight 5ive, starring Punchline Magazine editor/dashing rogue Dylan Gadino shot some Tight 5ives in Aspen. And it is my pleasure to debut the first of what I’m sure to be a few episodes from Aspen. Two great tastes that taste great together. Now that’s what I call synergy ™.

So everybody, Ted Alexandro!

It felt like a therapy session, only I wasn’t the only getting directly therapized.

To those in the NYC area, be sure to check out Marc’s one man show, Scorching the Earth, which will be happening every Sunday in March. Also to those in the internet area, check out Break Room Live, with Marc Maron and Sam Seder, streaming live every weekday, 3:00pm EST.
