About Aries Spears

Aries Spears Live

One of the most versatile and unbridled performers in the world of comedy, Aries Spears has been killing it in front of audiences ever since he began performing at clubs at the age of 14. Born in Chicago and raised in New Jersey, Spears has proven himself again and again both onstage as a stand-up and sketch comedian and in his many appearances in TV and films.

Audiences know him best from his eight seasons on MAD TV. Joining for the TV comedy institution's third season in 1997, he became the series' second-longest serving cast member as well as one of its most consistently hilarious thanks to his many recurring characters and impressions of Michael Jackson, Kanye West, Eddie Murphy, Shaquille O'Neal and many more. In 2006, Damon Wayans picked Spears to be one of the cast members in his Showtime sketch comedy series The Underground. Spears' other TV and film appearances include Malcolm X, Jerry Maguire and CSI Miami.

His debut comedy album, Aries Spears: I Ain't Scared was released in 2005. In 2011, Showtime presented his stand-up special Aries Spears: Hollywood, Look I'm Smiling. He followed up with 2016's Aries Spears: Comedy Blueprint, another showcase of his fearless brand of no-holds-barred comedy.

Aries Spears Background

A natural cutup with family and friends growing up in Chicago and New Jersey, Aries Spears began performing his jokes and impressions in New York and New Jersey while still a teenager. The young comedian was soon making appearances on such TV shows as Def Comedy Jam and It's Showtime at the Apollo. After moving to Los Angeles, he continued to develop the acting career that began with a part in Spike Lee's Malcolm X in 1992. Meanwhile, he honed his stand-up skills at such legendary clubs as the Comedy Store, the Laugh Factory and the Improv.

In 1997, he became part of the cast for the Fox sketch comedy series MAD TV, where his original characters and impressions of such celebrities as Kanye West, Snoop Dogg and Eddie Murphy made him a fan favorite during his eight-season run. Spears' later film and TV credits include Damon Wayans' sketch series The Underground, Jiminy Glick in Lalawood and CSI Miami.

Spears displayed his onstage prowess as a stand-up on numerous national tours as well as the 2005 comedy album Aries Spears: I Ain't Scared and two TV specials: Aries Spears: Hollywood, Look I'm Smiling (2011) and Aries Spears: Comedy Blueprint (2016). In 2020, he was part of the ensemble of iconic comedians featured on Def Comedy Jam's Healing Through Laughter, a livestream benefit hosted by Cedric the Entertainer.

    Totally enjoyed the show. Even with a small crowd, Aries came thru and spent time afterwards meeting the crowd and taking pics.

  • I’ve never laughed that hard in my entire life

    by Jake Anderson on 6/13/24The Wilbur - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    Aries is one of those comedians who are just gifted. His timing, his crowd work, the way he meets with all his fans, the man is a criminally underrated talent. The tickets i bought, I woulda paid 10 times the amount for the same experience i received!!!!!

  • Great show but….

    by Mimi on 5/15/24The Wilbur - BostonRating: 3 out of 5

    I loved the show & Aries is 1 of my favorite but the ppl next to me were constantly getting up & I had to keep getting up to let them pass by since I was the seat on the row. Also, the dude next to us was straight sleeping thru the whole show. The security kept telling him to wake up to no avail & finally the group left but @ that point it didn’t matter cause it was almost over. Worst seating situation ever but great show. Aries doesn’t disappoint.

    Aries did not disappoint. It was my first time seeing him live. I watched him since Mad TV, and I was excited to see that he was coming to Boston! I will definitely see him again when he comes back. My stomach still hurts from laughing so hard!

  • Fantastic Performance

    by Marshall on 4/18/24The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Fantastic show at a really good price. The performers also stayed after and chatted with everyone on the way out. I would go again as they also get the audience involved making the show a bit different each time.

  • Great show

    by ele_mama on 4/18/24The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Great show. Had me laughing the entire time. Bumped into Aries spears before the show which was pretty cool.

  • Loved the energy.

    by Hopuiy on 4/18/24The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    I've been a huge fan of Aries Spears for a long time. I'm glad he finally performed in Toronto. More than anything, I appreciated the audience's strong enthusiasm for both him and his opener. I had a wonderful time. It was fantastic to have both him and Steinberg directly sell the merch and speak to the fans. Truly a memorable experience. My only gripe was a bit of miscommunication. I wish I knew they only accepted cash for merchandise. Also, they should have had a large sign detailing the cost, especially for a photo.

  • Laughed so hard I couldn’t laugh anymore

    by Bree on 4/18/24The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Amazing show! Highly recommend. Went in not knowing what to expect and I can’t stop raving about how hilarious he was. Love a comedian who doesn’t hold back on the things we might be thinking but are afraid to say out loud, and he certainly didn’t!

  • Excellent

  • First show ever in Tdot for Aries Spears!

    by jetertmac on 4/18/24The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    I have been a fan of Aries Spears since the MadTV days. This was his first show ever in Toronto, and it did not disappoint! I have seen Dave Chappelle at the Danforth Music Hall and really like the venue—it's a fantastic place to take in a show. As for Aries, he was hilarious. I constantly cried with laughter throughout his entire set. Nothing was off limits, which is the way comedy should be done. I would see Aries Live again in a heartbeat! Thanks, Aries, for the great show! One of the best shows I have seen in a long time!
