#11: Mark Hughes

Comedian Mark Hughes drops in on the MLIR podcast to chat about his past life as a heroin addict and armed robber. Mark tells us his story about growing up in Vancouver, getting involved in a life of drugs and crime, which ultimately leads him to be in and out of prison for most of his life. After a seven year stint, Mark is sober and finds a new life with the help of stand up comedy, and AA. We break down the struggles and successes of being an ex convict trying to find a 'normal' existence in a new unknown world.
