Aries Spears
- His start: Splitting sides since he was 14 years old, the standup comedian, actor, and writer scurried quickly up the rungs of professional comedy, scoring a role on NBC’s A Different World and in films such as Jerry Maguire.
- His breakthrough: as a principal cast member of Fox’s MadTV across 198 episodes, helping the sketch-comedy series establish itself as a comedic institution with his outlandish writing and original recurring characters, including hardcore rapper Emcee Esher and faux BET talk-show star and proud overeater Belma Buttons
- His gift: natural comedic instincts that can’t be rehearsed or taught in improv classes, including uncanny impersonation in MadTV bits lampooning Al Pacino, Denzel Washington, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Queen Latifah
- What to expect: a fearless standup act where Spears delivers sharp punch lines and incising insight about relationships and culture clashes, mixed with healthy doses of his lauded impersonations

About Aries Spears
At Brea Improv, comics lure laughs as they follow in the footsteps of standup legends such as Ellen DeGeneres, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, and Dave Chappelle, all of whom have graced the Improv club stages. The calendar schedules comedians as often as seven nights a week, alternating between big-name headliners and up-and-coming funsters who tickle funny bones with fresh material and abundant energy. Audience members can also munch on their choice of a savory appetizer, such as spinach-and-artichoke dip or fried calamari, while sipping a cocktail to avoid eye contact with the giant rubber chicken sitting at the next table.
