Marlon Wayans

Marlon Wayans is bringing his stand-up to Helium & Elements Restaurant in St. Louis for a three-night run: Friday, January 29, Saturday, January 30, and Sunday, January 31, 2027. If you've only known him from the movies, this is a chance to see him working as a comedian.

Wayans has spent most of his career in front of the camera. He's an actor, producer, writer, and director whose films have grossed $1.14 billion domestically and nearly $1.8 billion globally. You probably recognize him as Marcus Copeland in the 2004 comedy White Chicks, and from his TV work on The Wayans Bros., the NBC sitcom Marlon, In Living Color, and Bel-Air.

But he's just as active on the stand-up stage. His specials have a habit of hitting number one: Good Grief came out in June 2024 on Amazon Prime Video, and Woke-ish ran on Netflix. Before those, there were God Loves Me, You Know What It Is, and Marlon Wayans Presents: The Headliners on HBO Max. He's also kept busy with film—he stars in the psychological horror thriller Him, which came out in September 2025, and he recently finished Scary Movie 6 with his brothers Keenen and Shawn, scheduled for release on June 12, 2026.

As for the St. Louis dates, you've got a few options. The Friday and Saturday shows run from 7:00 to 9:30 PM, and the Sunday show starts at 7:00 PM. Helium is an 18+ venue.
