Office-style Comedy Web Series Marvelless Martan Releases Entire First Season On YouTube

NEW YORK - Sept. 23, 2014 - PRLog -- If The Office and Arrested Development conceived a baby during a threesome with Brookyln 99, that baby would be Marvelless Martan.

MARTAN PRODUCTIONS announces a brand new episode of Marvelless Martan, a scripted comedy web series, starring Martin Joseph (ABC’s My Wife and Kids, WB’s Parent’hood) and Henriette Mantel (Brady Bunch Movie, Everybody Loves Raymond, The Office).

SYNOPSIS: Marvelless Martan is a behind-the-scenes peek into the pitiful world of a narcissistic but loveable daytime talk show host with just one name: Martan.It all starts when D-Lister Martan, the youngest daytime talk show host since Ricki Lake, is approached by NY college students to produce a documentary about his (unlikely) rise to the top. From there, we watch as his rag tag production team, led by an out-of-touch former Donahue producer, Wendy (Henriette Mantel), desperately tries to please Martan. You can’t help but root for underdog Martan, who purchased his current wardrobe from a Liberace estate sale, as his unqualified staff of painfully awkward assistants, lazy producers, and his theatrical sidekick Scotty seem to sabotage “The Martan Show” at every turn. From booking “the wrong Taylor” to allowing a kangaroo with an uncontrollable colon roam the set, Martan can’t seem to win. Despite all this, he somehow makes the best of unwanted guests, wardrobe malfunctions, bizarre prophetic dreams, and even gets creative when the “Martan Show” crew is kicked out of their studio.

Marvelless Martan does what Kathy Griffin couldn’t do: prove that Life on the D-List can actually be funny.

BACKGROUND: Martin Joseph came up with the lead character for this series while developing his own one-man show What Makes You Think I Want To Talk To You? After sellout performances in NY and LA, Martin grew to love the self-indulgent and often obnoxious Martan, who deep down is “a big, insecure dork who just wants people to like him.” Martin explains that there’s something for everyone in this series because “each character is perfectly imperfect and is somebody you have met, have worked with, lived next to, sat next to or maybe even dated.”

Season one features 8 webisodes in all and can be viewed on Martan Productions’ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/MarvellessMartan
