About the Artist:
Marcus D. Wiley is a premiere entertainer whose class of comedy surpasses the status quo. The charismatic comedian’s style of delivery is captivating, funny and knowledgeable. He provides lots of laughter along with a guaranteed message on being a better you. His motto for his brand of comedy is “Laughter is good, but the Message is better!” Wooing the masses, Marcus’ widespread appeal is contemporary enough to entice the fashion-savvy and culturally conscious Generation Xs, Ys, and Zs, but traditional
enough to melt the matriarch’s heart as he recounts Mama’s mandates.
A three-time college graduate with an Associates Degree in Fine Art Theatre, Bachelor’s Degree in Radio/TV Film and Master’s Degree in Communications, Marcus is also a published author. His book Hustle & Faith remains a top- selling piece of literature and excerpts from the book are often quoted from the pulpit to the streets. His motto as an author is “God will honor your faith and reward your hustle.” Yolanda Adams refers to him as a comedic genius, radio mogul Cathy Hughes has called him a modern-day Dick Gregory and Chase and Charli only see him as dad. He has been married to Erica for 26 years.
