Mark Edward Proksch, a multifaceted American comedian and actor, was born on July 19, 1978. He has garnered widespread recognition for his ingenious series of pranks, perpetuated under the alias "Kenny Strasser" or, as he often self-referred to, "K-Strass".
Proksch would initiate contact with local television news stations, claiming to be a skilled yo-yo expert. When he was subsequently booked on a show, he would confound the interviewers with his lengthy, rambling monologues and his inability to execute any actual yo-yo tricks.
