Mario Hodge doesn’t just tell jokes—he delivers an experience. With his razor-sharp wit, animated stage presence, and the ability to bring audiences to tears with laughter, Mario is the comedic triple threat you need. Born and raised in Oakland, California, he’s a fresh, raw talent who has been lighting up stages since 2012. Inspired by iconic shows like In Living Color and Sanford & Son, Mario blends physical comedy, musical parodies, and no-holds-barred humor into an unforgettable act. Mario’s been turning heads in the industry, becoming a favorite of comedy legends like Snoop Dogg and Deon Cole. Snoop hired him for private gigs, his Death Row Comedy Show, and the Rhythm & Roast Tour, while Deon dubbed him his “new favorite comic.” If that’s not enough, Mario has shared the stage with heavyweights like Kevin Hart, Tony Roberts, and the late, great Charlie Murphy, who personally mentored him, DL Hughley, Eddie Griffin and Rickey Smiley.
