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.
My girlfriend and I attended this show not knowing who Aries Spears was and he ended up being absolutely hilarious! We both laughed our asses off through the entire show and still make references to some of his jokes to this day.
The show was great. He had great energy considering that it was the 2nd show. I've never seen him live before, but was intrigued to see the show based on a radio show appearance.
Very fun night. The drinks were mixed well, the steak sandwich meat was cooked perfect, and Arise was hilarious.
Aries Spears was hilarious! So real and down to earth! He should definitely have his own HBO or Showtime special! Buy these ticket you won't regret it!
This is the third time I have seen Aries Spears and he gets funnier each time. He is non stop laughter on stage, and it seems like he performs for a long time. My only warning, is if you are easily offended, don't go. He jokes about things that maybe some people may not think are funny. But he doesn't apologize for it, and I love that about him. If you can't laugh at some things? Then what are we here for? I also love that he chastizes people who won't shut up while he is on stage. I was seated next to the "drunk" table and they were getting on MY nerves. We were in front of the stage to the side and I could clearly see his face. He looked over at them with stink eye quite a few times, giving them the chance to shut up. They didn't, and he let them have it. We applauded !! I highly recommend Aries Spears....and Cobb's is the best club in the City !!
Aries Spears is one of the most hilarious standup comedians working today. His impressions are on-point and I was laughing hysterically throughout the show. Unfortunately, the crowd was a pretty bad crowd and so the energy level in the room fell a bit flat at times. Not Aries's fault, because he was incredible. Even took time to take photos with the audience outside. Can't wait to see his next show!
AP is definitely the man! Like the title, he brought it for real. LOL...leave any hang ups at the door, good times... Loved his impersonations
Awesome show! The seating and view were great. Best of all, Aries was awesome in how he dealt with the crowd.
The show started almost an hour late but it was worth it. The club was clean and the wait staff were really quick with getting drinks. The two opening acts before Aries were really good. Aries Spears act was awesome. My girlfriend and I sat in the front row and we both laughed our asses off. The next time he comes to Sac we will watch him again. He should be on TV or in movies because the guy is hilarious.
This was my second time seeing Aries Spears. He's one of those under rated comedians that most people don't know or hear too much about. I had my sister's with me at the show. They heard of Aries, but had no idea how funny he was. Aries earned himself two new fans. If you need a laugh I recommend this show
Aries killed it! He had the Crowd Rolling! Lol ...Great Show!
Dude was so funny! The venue was great. After the show he met with us and took a picture with me. Awesome!
Great show. He did some old classic materials and new ones. Really enjoyed the show. Of you are a fun, you def will not be disappointed. I was kind a looking forward for him to do the impression of rapers like he does, but he didn't. Maybe it was on the later final show, I went to the early one. Good performance overall.
Great show....Although he was working on his new material, he did it very smoothly and it was extremely funny and well received. Interacted with the audience, squashed hecklers and at several points had people falling out of their seats. Performed forever, stayed around after for CD sales, pictures and just talking. Huge talent!
Great show. Need to leave out remarks regarding daughter
I bought my tickets the moment the show was announced. I was disappointed that our seats were way in the back against the wall. HIghlight was having Aries Spears walk by me and say hi! He walked around the crowd and was very approachable. His show was incredible. Laughed until tears streamed down my face!!! I bought his CD after the show.....simply to support his $30K a month child support payments. If he comes to your city, you HAVE TO see his stand up performance.
Loved the show! Aries Spears was awesome, and Damon Williams was great. Service was a little slow, and the air conditioner didn't seem to be working, glad we weren't dancing. It was hot in there. But overall I would recommend attending an event there. I hope to see more comedians there in the future.
Comedy show was on point. The show started on time and was great
When I heard Aries was going to be in San Francisco I told my family and eight of us went to see him and we were NOT disappointed. Even thou I knew most of his jokes he mixed it up to keep it fresh. Also, he enteracting with the crowed was funny as well. It's a shame that hollywood want give this man his on show like Bernie Mac or a movie where he could be a conmen using all of his imations in disguise to get things. In the in he could saves the USA or his committee.
Aries Spears put on a great show with great material. My first time seeing him but I would definitely see him again. The other two acts were funny too but the second guy was better. Overall an A+++++ event !!!
