A Night of New Material
The show kicks off at 8 PM at the Ovens Auditorium. Marlon describes his comedy as a special way to connect with people through laughs. “I have been doing comedy for years and acting, and I see my job as connecting with people to make them laugh,” he said. He’s excited to share all new material with the audience, expressing that “once I do a comedy special, I retire that material.” So, if you’ve seen him before, expect a fresh batch of humor tailored just for Charlotte fans!
What’s Cooking in Marlon’s World?
Besides the comedy tour, Marlon has his hands full with numerous projects. He’s set to appear in the upcoming season of “Bel-Air” on Peacock, where he’s reprising the role of Will’s dad, Lou. This season premiered on August 15, and it’s clear Marlon is bringing his A-game!
Earlier this year, Marlon celebrated the release of his comedy special, Marlon Wayans: Good Grief, which premiered on June 4 on Amazon Prime Video. This special, which hit number one on the streaming platform in its first weekend, takes a unique approach to comedy by blending humor with personal experiences as Marlon works through his feelings after the loss of both his parents. Filmed at the famed Apollo Theatre in NYC, he shares that it was his way of honoring his roots, as both of his parents grew up in Harlem.
Upcoming Movie Buzz
Looking ahead, Marlon recently wrapped production on a new film titled Him, produced by Universal Pictures and Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions. This highly anticipated movie is set to hit theaters on September 19, 2025. With Marlon’s reputation for bringing both laughter and depth to his roles, fans are excited to see what he has in store.
