Comedian Marcus
Marcus is a unique talent who has quickly become one of the fastest rising young comedians
around. His high energy, rock n’ roll style captured the attention of America and propelled him all the way to 2nd place on the 2008 season of NBC’s hit television series, LAST COMIC STANDING. Marcus began his comedy career in radio, voicing hundreds of radio commercials and putting in thousands of hours of live radio doing celebrity impressions for radio stations all over the country before making the move to the stage. He quickly gained a following with his live shows that combined his talent for voices, his razor sharp wit and unique writing into a show that kept audiences asking for more.
