Marlon Wayans Live at the Houston IMPROV This Weekend

MARLON WAYANS ~ PERFORMING LIVE AT THE HOUSTON IMPROV THIS WEEKEND

Marlon Wayans is best known for his role in the Scary Movie film series, and for being the youngest of the Wayans siblings.

Despite the poverty of his early years, by the time Marlon reached high school, many of his elder siblings were already achieving success as comedians and actors, and he set out to follow in their footsteps. He attended the prestigious Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, and in 1988, at the age of 16, he made his film debut in I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, his brother Keenen Ivory Wayans’s parody of the “blaxploitation” film genre popular during the 1970s. While not especially noteworthy in its own right, I’m Gonna Git You Sucka provided the blueprint for many of the Wayans brothers’ later films: low-budget, family-made spoofs that, despite their outrageous comedy, also help bring to the light the stereotypes and clichés underpinning various film genres.
