See comedian Aries Spears live at State Theatre New Jersey! Ever since New York native Aries Spears was 14 years old, he has been a force to be reckoned with in the comedy scene throughout America. His quick wit, charisma, and ferociously aggressive style of comedy have earned him critical acclaim, high accolades, and above all, a busy schedule. From being a regular on Fox’s&nbsp;Mad TV, starring in feature films, appearing on a number of national talk shows, and continually touring the country where he continually sells out each and every city, Spears’ talents are widespread as he just passed the three million spins played on Pandora and his podcast is one of the "Musts" in the U.S.
In 2023, Spears guest starred in CNN’s <a href="https://tinyurl.com/AriesCNNSeeItLoud" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">See It Loud</a> hit docuseries on the history of Black Television, alongside Amanda Seales, Da’Vinchi, Debbie Allen, Deon Cole, Desus &amp; Mero, Gabrielle Union, Jimmie Walker, Judge Greg Mathis, Lynn Whitfield, Mo’Nique, Naturi Naughton, Sherri Shepherd, Tatyana Ali, Tisha Campbell, Vivica A. Fox, and many more.
As a principal cast member on Fox’s hit sketch comedy show Mad TV, Spears brought a fresh, hip style to the already-edgy program. The producers made full use of many of Spears' talents by calling on him frequently to create new hilarious characters and write sketches where he thrived for eight seasons.
Some of the many recurring characters that Spears is famous for on the show include: Belma Buttons, Bill Cosby, Jesse Jackson, Mike Tyson, Walter (Crackheads), Reggie (Erascist), Dollar Bill Montgomery, Shaquille O'Neal, The Klumps, Michael Jackson, Sisqo, Evander Holyfield, El Diablo Negro, and more. He also boasts a number of uproarious impersonations on the show that include James Brown, Al Pacino, and his childhood idol Eddie Murphy. The Spears-branded sketch “Talkin’ American” was Mad TV’s most popular bit, keeping fans tuned in and boosting&nbsp;Mad’s ratings impressively on Saturday night.
Spears has also found great success in the world of feature films. At the age of 17, after being spotted in a comedy club, he landed a part in the movie Home of Angels which eventually led to a starring role alongside John Leguizamo in&nbsp;The Pest&nbsp;followed by the notable role as Cuba Gooding, Jr.’s brother in the blockbuster hit, Jerry Maguire.Tickets start at $46
