Marlon Wayans
Carolines on Broadway | July 27, 2018
Y'all… I met Marlon Lamont Wayans!!!
For perspective... I was completely obsessed with The Wayans Bros. growing up. I loved everything about the Wayans family. I watched every TV show and movie they did, and I especially loved Marlon! I've stated this before, but I recorded every episode (minus two) on VHS. I still vividly remember rushing home from school to make sure the VCR was set to record the next episode. I made a fan website dedicated to him using Yahoo! Geocities the summer I turned 15 years old. By the following summer, my website consistently displayed in the top 3 search results using AOL.com sometimes beating out IMDB, and the page counter at the bottom displayed well over 100,000 page views.
The scar just below my right knee is from me hopping out the shower dripping wet and running to my living room to see him "do the baseball" for the millionth time when I was in college! I tripped on a TV cord and slid my butt naked ass across the floor fucking up my whole right side! Carpet burn is no joke! I still laugh at myself for doing that! Just crazy...
So yeah, meeting Marlon was a dream come true 20 years in the making! First, he came on stage with "Icon" by Jaden Smith playing. Y'all know that's my theme music! His stand-up routine was freakin' hilarious!!! He even managed to knock the "L" off the Caroline's sign while telling a joke! The entire room erupted in laughter, and it was the funniest shit ever! While impersonating their voices, he shared personal stories about how Keenan inspired and motivated him, just how dark and twisted Damon really is, and an interesting story about Shawn showing him a rubber penis that really wasn't a rubber penis when they were kids, and how Marlon tried to run off with it but didn't get far. OUCH! He said it was his #MeToo story... I can't!!!
I didn't get any video footage as Mitch Marchand, who opened up for Marlon and was also incredibly funny, told the crowd no video or photos during the show or you'll be escorted out, no refund! I was not about to chance anything! Besides, I wanted to focus on my baby daddy (in my head) and enjoy his set in full without distractions, and I certainly did! I sat at a table right next to the stage, and my seat was literally one seat away from the stage. I got a full view!!! I was swooning the entire time!
Yep, dreams do come true...
