Marc Felion - Chicago, Illinois

Producer and Co-Host

Marc joined the Feast of Fun family in 1999 when Fausto and he started dating and Marc commandeered the kitchen where he worked so that they could make cookies to sell at a bake sale to raise money for the Feast of Fools live Show. He thinks we made about $60.

Marc was always behind the scenes at the Feast of Fools Live Show. He helped write scripts and make costumes for the live shows. He was ever present at the the actual event, working the crowd, greeting guests, running the video camera and working the spotlight.

Marc became involved in The Feast of Fun Podcast because he had to! It was taking place in his living room night after night. He had to join in on the fun or go hide in the back bedroom. Marc’s glad that Feast of Fun helps bring a positive message of what life is like in an alternative urban environment
