Brother Wayans

We know him for overstating the stereotype. Whether as the killing machine in Major Payne or the dork wonder in Blankman, Damon Wayans continues to push the envelope–now he not only states the obvious, he states the ridiculous. He’s as unpredictable as a good punch line.

Since starting his career as a standup comedian in the early’80s, Wayans has taken on the big screen, the little screen and serial sitcomdom with his five-season run of his more-real-than-the-Cosbys family show, My Wife and Kids.

He returns to his stage roots with his national comedy tour, which makes a stop at the Laugh Factory Saturday. Remember the ‘facilities’-carrying Anton Jackson and Brothers Brothers Tom who doesn’t know he’s black and remember why Damon Wayans doesn’t play the dwarf in a B-movie.
