THEATRE + COMEDY

The Improv Comedy Showcase and Restaurant presents Shawn & Marlon Wayans. 

Most recently you've seen Shawn and Marlon Wayans in the box office hits Dance Flick, “Little Man” and “White Chicks,” both of which they also co-wrote and co-executive produced. They began co-writing this string of blockbusters with the smash “Scary Movie” where Shawn played Ray, an ambiguously gay football jock, along side his brother Marlon, who played the lovable stoner Shorty, and was directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. Co-written, co-executive produced by and starring Shawn & Marlon, “Scary Movie 2” was the only sequel in the “Scary Movie” franchise with direct Wayans involvement.

Their past film credits include the hit comedy “Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in The Hood,” which they co-wrote, executive produced and starred in. The movie was a comic spoof of the coming-of-age-in-the-‘hood movies and is a huge cult favorite. “The Wayans Bros.” sitcom, which Shawn and Marlon created and starred in, was the first WB show to be sold into syndication after heading up the WB network lineup for five years.

Shawn, along with his brothers and sisters, created “Thugaboo” and the subsequent “Boo Crew” animated specials for Nickelodeon, which began premiering in August, 2006. In addition to creating, the Wayans are also writing, directing and voicing the series which takes a humorous look at the trials and tribulations of nine inner city kids. TheBooCrew.com released in the fall 2009 and plans are underway to turn The Boo Crew into a daily comic strip.
