Marlon Wayans is an actor, producer, comedian, writer and film director. His films have grossed more than $736-million in domestic box office, an average of nearly $50-million per outing. As a standup comedian, he is selling out nationwide and adding shows every weekend. Wayans recently filmed his first-ever stand-up comedy special which will air on Netflix in 2018.
On the small screen, Wayans starred last summer in the new hit NBC sitcom “Marlon,” which has been renewed for a second season. The sitcom was the summer’s #1 new scripted series on the Big 4 networks and was one of the most-watched new summer comedy premieres in the last decade. Loosely based on his life, “Marlon” is a family comedy centered around a loving (but immature) father committed to co-parenting his two kids with his very-together ex-wife, played by Essence Atkins.
Wayans also hosts the hit NBC show “I Can Do That!,” a comedy/variety series where six celebrities are asked to put on an entertainment show with skills they didn’t even know they had.

The 9,000 square-foot facility was designed by local architecture and interior design firm InForm Design, and seats over 300 patrons, showcasing two performances nightly in an intimate setting – seven days a week, 365 days a year.
