Biography
Jason Marcus is one of the sharpest and most hard working young comics in the
country. His unique style of humor comes from his broad range of experiences
growing up in a racially-mixed household in Boston, MA.
2010 is already looking to be a promising year for the young comic on the rise. In
January, he was a finalist in Budd Friedman’s iJoke.com “Funny People” contest
and he performed in venues across the country until March when he was a featured
performer in the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival in Atlanta, GA.
In July 2009, he was featured in the Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival in
Asheville, NC. In May, he won first place in the Catch a New Rising Star Contest at
the Catch a Rising Star in Lincoln, RI. In March 2009, Marcus was named "Best of
the East Coast" in the Detroit International Comedy Festival. He has also been
featured in the Las Vegas Comedy Festival and the New York Comedy Expo. He has
performed across the country from Boston to Los Angeles and performed a short
tour in Canada.
Jason Marcus is credited as a co-producer of "Lyrics and Laughs," a comedy/music
show geared towards the promotion of lesser-known comics and talented musicians
on the rise. The effort has been met with sold-out attendance records at some of the
most popular indie performance venues in the Boston Area.
Jason’s comedic talent is often donated in support to fundraisers that have
benefited local charities in his hometown, as well as abroad. Many of his benefit
activities raised money to aid causes ranging from a recently disabled friend – to
the American Cancer Society, the Autism Society of America, the American
Alzheimer’s Society and our troops coming home from war.
Performing at colleges and as a regular in nearly every club all over New England,
Jason has garnered a reputation in the Boston Comedy community as one of the
most dedicated and diligent young comedians on the rise while typically referred to
as, "a devoted student of the art of standup comedy."
When he is not performing in clubs, colleges, high schools, and corporate events,
Jason can be found either in the stands at a Celtics game or on the sofa watching
reality television…I mean lifting weights.
