Local (and sometimes New York-based) actor/producer/blogger Mark Baratelli has his hands in many sinister soups this summer, with added installments of the Mobile Art Show and an improv comedy show at Sleuths.

Mark Baratelli runs The DailyCity.com, a local blog dedicated spreading the word about cool places and events around Orlando. And if there aren’t enough local events, he creates them, like the Taco Truck Taste Test and The Mobile Art Show. (I sense a moving theme happening here.)

For the first Moble Art Show, Baratelli filled a U-Haul with cool paintings, robots, dinosaur heads and jewelry made by local artists and parked at various destinations around town. People could locate the truck via Twitter, making it part art show, part scavenger hunt. Click here to check out photos from the event.

The next Moble Art Show will stay parked at CityArts Factory on August 20 starting at 6 p.m. for Third Thursdays. Unfortunately, none of the art on display will be available for purchase due to legal reasons. But you can scope out the stuff you like and pick it up when the Mobile Art Show returns on August 23, this time at Etoile Boutique in the Milk District for the Dirty South Bike BBQ III.

On August 19 and 26 at 10 p.m., you can see Mark do what he does best, improv, in Mark Baratelli Tries Two Hard at Sleuths Mystery Dinner Theatre. Mark Baratelli presents two of his award-winning improvised comedy shows: “How Do You Feel?,” a loosely-scripted interactive self-help session, and “Improv Cabaret,” an improvised cabaret act (featuring John DeHaas on piano). Tickets are $10, a full bar and light bites will be available.

This show is part of the “It’s No Mystery” series at Sleuths, which also includes Mama’s Comedy Club, An Evening of Estrogen and The Unusual Suspects. (I saw thes guys perform at Tanqueray’s and they are freaking HILARIOUS. Go see them.)
