Some comics have complained about the restraints of staying inbounds in today’s politically correct, socially sensitive era. Not Lawrence, who is Black. He’s not deterred. “I write about me. If someone has a problem, it’s all about me. ... life’s too short.” Mark Christopher Lawrence, 58, of Normal Heights, has made a name for himself as a TV and film actor and a stand-up comedian.
Lawrence was on stage in Moxie’s first season and acted there periodically over the 12 years while she was artistic director.
