Mark Sarian and Ari Voukydis have been writing and performing together at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and all over the country since before they banished all those hookers from Times Square. They met while performing on the same Harold Team at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York in 1999. Over the years, their sketch shows, “Hooray for Mark & Ari!” and “LOFT” have performed at national comedy festivals. Their short film "Small World" was directed by John Landis and featured on ‘The Tonight Show.’ They’ve also won a script contest or two. No big deal. And they've produced several popular internet videos that have appeared on BuzzFeed and HuffPo Comedy. Most recently their screenplay, Mounted, was a Finalist at the 2024 HollyShorts Festival.
