Marcus D. Wiley
-
Marcus D. Wiley is a premiere entertainer whose class of comedy surpasses the status quo. In February 2025, Marcus released his third hour special, “Marriage Is Major Surgery”, which was executive produced by Ali Siddiq and is available on YouTube. The special went viral and received over 1 million views in the first 10 days. This one-of-a-kind performance has been described as ‘ideal for the married, the wanna be married, the used to be married and the wanna be married again’.
Prior to his comedy career, Marcus was a professor at Texas Southern University. 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.”
The son of a preacher, Marcus’ charismatic style of delivery is clean, 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.
