Multi-talented actor and comedian Marlon Wayans returns to the stage with his newest comedy special for Prime Video, “Marlon Wayans: Good Grief” tomorrow June 4th.
“Marlon Wayans: Good Grief” showcases his unique brand of comedy, blending physical humor and hilarious commentary, with a surprising amount of heart. Taped at the iconic Apollo Theater in Harlem, comedy meets therapy as Wayans works through his grief after recently losing both of his parents. He shares how his father taught him to be a man, the requirements to join the “Dead Mama Club,” the surprises you encounter when changing your aging parents’ diapers, and who is the funniest Wayans.
“Marlon Wayans: Good Grief” is produced by Marlon Wayans and Rick Alvarez’s Ugly Baby Productions and Amazon MGM Studios. Marlon Wayans, Rick Alvarez, Michael Rotenberg, Steve Harris, Craig Wayans and Troy Miller serve as executive producers.
Wayans and Rick Alvarez launched Ugly Baby Productions in 2013 with the goal of producing filmed entertainment, with an entrepreneurial spirit, that reaches large global audiences. They succeeded with three #1 global hits on Netflix “Naked,” “Sextuplets” and “The Curse of Bridge Hollow,” the powerhouse indie franchise “A Haunted House,” and the three most viewed comedy specials currently on Max, among many others.
