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.

    LMAO the whole time!!!

    by NoNamezzzzz on 5/15/11Modell Performing Arts Center at the Lyric - Baltimore

    Could have done without the opening act because that comedian wasn't that funny. However, Aries Spears was hilarious. He had me on my feet cracking up laughing. My stomach never hurt so much. I always love to see him do his rapper impersonations because he does them so well. It was definitely worth going to this show!!!

    Comedy Xplosion was well worth the money!

    by BARI1 on 5/10/10Atlanta Civic Center - Atlanta

    I really enjoyed the comedy Xplosion. You got plently of bang for your buck. The only thing, I didn't like was the show was way too long for a Sunday night. Had it been a Friday or Saturday, I probably would not feel that way. Other than that, the show was great and the comedians were really funny~ Loved it!

    Fabulous Show!!!

    by Camersha on 5/10/10Atlanta Civic Center - Atlanta

    I've never laughed so hard in all my life. I'd have to say my favorites were Steve Brown and Michael Collier, but everyone one was great!

    The All-star Comedy X-Plosion was the bomb

    by steeleprayin on 5/10/10Atlanta Civic Center - Atlanta

    The show was a complete success. All comedians were excellent, with Michael Collier bringing it home. The whole atmosphere was pleasant and exciting. My favorite was Tony Roberts, he is a straight-up fool and I never laughed harder. He needs to do his own show, cause he ripped it to shredds. Peace!

    This event was forgettable

    by nd30 on 5/10/10Atlanta Civic Center - Atlanta

    This event was full of unknown comics. Everyone told the same jokes sex, the president and more sex. It was also too long, if your going to have 15 comics you need to start before 7pm on a Sunday night. Some of us have to work for a living.

    WENT FROM COLD TO LUKEWARM TO HOT TO BLAZING!!

    by KIMO44 on 5/10/10Atlanta Civic Center - Atlanta

    GRET COMEDIC ROUND UP. DEFINITELY MORE FUNNY FOR YOUR MONEY...There was about 10 acts total...the 1st two were ok and needed maybe a little more material w/ stage time but definitely have potential for the future. Then Doo-Doo Brown came in and raised the heat!! The fourth act was decent enough to keep the temperature where it was, and after that the rest of the acts keep raising the bar and the heat and the laughter. Didn't help much that the place was halfway full when it started but by the time Doo-Doo Brown came on the place was damn near full. The host had his moments two although he messed up the introduction for some of the standouts...he too has potential w/ a little more material and stage time to help his stage presence. J. Lamont, DOO-DOO BROWN, STEVE BROWN, TONY ROBERT & MICHAEL COLYAR TORE IT DOWN!! And the Ladies Lunelle and Melonie Camacha brought the funny!

    Hilarious but disappointed in one aspect

    by Gigirlmel on 5/10/10Atlanta Civic Center - Atlanta

    I only bought tickerts so I could see my favorite comedian, Tyler Craig, who did not even perform. That was my only disappointment. Other than that, I found some new favorites...Steve Brown and Jay Lamont were hilarious!!!

    Lot of comedic talent for the dollar!

    by OOOOOkay on 5/10/10Atlanta Civic Center - Atlanta

    The event should be shortened to 2 hours maximum. The comedic talent was first rate! Perhaps there should be some consideration shown to those people who come to be entertained not to hear extreme profanity ever other curse word.
