Mark Allen

Mark Allen has contributed to The New York Times, NPR's All Things Considered, The Awl, and Vice, hosted his own weekly radio show at WFMU, and performed storytelling and stand-up at Upright Citizen's Brigade NYC, Axis Theater, and 92Y Tribeca. As a journalist, he's lived for a week with a Japanese home-robot, gone bull riding, and been "cured" by an ex-gay church in front of a live audience. Mark is the director of the film Sock Job. Have you experienced his 2003 poem My Ass, that he performed live on The Robin Byrd Show in 2012? Mark once ran an experimental show at Dixon Place called Pitch!, where writers pitched ideas to editors live on stage. Mark has a popular YouTube channel where he creates parodies of ASMR/mukbang videos, as well as videos mocking his current home of Hudson, NY. Despite all this, Mark will probably be forever known as the (first) famous go go boy from the 1990's NYC nightlife scene, and in 2021 he received a GLAM Living Legend Award for his trailblazing g-string. Mark also once helped wrap a giant condom over Jesse Helms' house. He is also an asshole.
