Marlon Wayans Arrives in Kansas City for Stand-Up Shows and New Projects

Comedic Icon in Town for Live Performances

Kansas City, Mo. – Renowned comedian and actor Marlon Wayans is back in Kansas City, gearing up for a weekend filled with laughs at the Funny Bone Comedy Club. The youngest of the Wayans clan shared his excitement on TikTok, announcing he will be performing from August 16 to August 18, with multiple shows each night.

An Icon of Comedy

Wayans, best known for his roles in cult classics like “Mo’ Money”, “Scary Movie” franchise, and “White Chicks”, has solidified his place in Hollywood as a versatile entertainer. While in town, fans can also catch him on Peacock’s popular show “Bel-Air”, where he reprises his role as Will’s father, Lou, a character that resonates with his past and the original series.

Diving into New Genres

While Wayans is celebrated for his comedic talents, he is exploring new horizons in his acting career. He starred alongside the talented Jennifer Hudson in the 2021 biopic about Aretha Franklin, showcasing his dramatic abilities as Ted White, Franklin’s husband. Additionally, he made a cameo in “Air”, a movie detailing the origins of Michael Jordan’s iconic Nike shoe line.

Exploring Psychological Horror

Confirming his transition beyond comedy, Wayans recently completed filming for a psychological horror movie titled “Him”, directed by Justin Tipping. Set for release next September, this venture marks a significant shift in his artistic journey.

Comedy as a Vehicle for Healing

Despite his diverse roles, Wayans remains committed to sharing his life experiences through comedy. Recently, he opened up about the profound grief he’s endured after losing nearly 60 loved ones, including his parents. In his own words, “I’m a different human with my parents gone than I was when they were here.” His new comedy special, “Good Grief”, which premiered on Amazon Prime, paid tribute to his parents, reflecting on the healing power of laughter.

Don’t Miss the Chance to Laugh

For those eager to catch Marlon Wayans in action, tickets are available for his performances at the Funny Bone Comedy Club. With shows starting this weekend, it’s a perfect opportunity for fans to experience his unique blend of laughter and heartfelt storytelling.
