Mark Lundholm wrings laughter from pain

Laughter Heals and It’s an Art –

Jan. 4, 2018 – Mark Lundholm is a comedian and one-time drug addict. He does what any comedian would do: make fun of the things he knows. For him, that means family dysfunction, drug abuse, and addiction. Still, it’s an odd comedic niche: making a living doing humor about a disease that he candidly admits kills more people than car accidents, cancer, and war combined. Lundholm, who was born in Oakland and lives in San Jose, Calif., admits there are limits to his comedy. He won’t make fun of addicts or the families that suffer from the addiction. But there is a mindset, a catch-me-if-you-can attitude that recovering addicts will instantly recognize and probably won’t be able to help but laugh at.
