Comedian and actor Marlon Wayans will perform his \u201cWild Child\u201d tour at the St. George Theatre on Saturday, Nov. 15, at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n
The show comes as Wayans maintains a busy schedule across multiple entertainment projects. He currently stars in the psychological horror film \u201cHim\u201d from Universal Pictures and Jordan Peele\u2019s Monkeypaw banner, which centers on a promising young athlete who is invited to train with a team\u2019s retiring star quarterback played by Wayans.

Wayans is also in production with his brothers Keenen and Shawn on a new \u201cScary Movie\u201d film scheduled for release on June 12, 2026. <\/p>\n
The Wayans brothers developed the \u201cScary Movie\u201d franchise, with Keenen writing and directing the first two films while Marlon and Shawn wrote and starred in them.<\/p>\n
The comedian will reprise his role as Will\u2019s dad Lou in the fourth season of \u201cBel-Air,” which premieres on Nov. 24. His performance in the series earned him an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Guest Performance in February. <\/p>\n
