Wiley is a premiere entertainer whose class of comedy surpasses the status quo. In February 2025\, Marcus released his third hour special\, “Marriage Is Major Surgery”\, which was executive produced by Ali Siddiq and is available on YouTube. The special went viral and received over 3 million views to date. This one-of-a-kind performance has been described as ‘ideal for the married\, the wanna be married\, the used to be married and the wanna be married again’. \nThe son of a preacher\, Marcus’ charismatic style of delivery is clean\, captivating\, funny and knowledgeable. He provides lots of laughter along with a guaranteed message on being a better you. His motto for his brand of comedy is “Laughter is good\, but the Message is better!” Wooing the masses\, Marcus’ widespread appeal is contemporary enough to entice the fashion-savvy and culturally conscious Generation Xs\, Ys\, and Zs\, but traditional enough to melt the matriarch’s heart as he recounts Mama’s mandates. \nPrior to his comedy career\, Marcus was a professor at Texas Southern University. A three-time college graduate with an Associates Degree in Fine Art Theatre\, Bachelor’s Degree in Radio/TV Film and Master’s Degree in Communications\, Marcus is also a published author. His book Hustle & Faith remains a top-selling piece of literature and excerpts from the book are often quoted from the pulpit to the streets. His motto as an author is “God will honor your faith and reward your hustle.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPittsburgh Improv Info\nID Requirements\nThird-party tickets will not be honored.

SUMMARY:T.J. Miller at the Pittsburgh Improv Comedy Club | Nov 5-7
DESCRIPTION:T.J. Miller at the Pittsburgh Improv Comedy Club | Nov 5-7\n\n\n\n\n\nPittsburgh Improv\n\n\nThu Nov 5\n07:00PM \nSpecial Event\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\nFri Nov 6\n07:00PM \nSpecial Event\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n09:30PM \nSpecial Event\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\nSat Nov 7\n06:30PM \nSpecial Event\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n09:00PM \nSpecial Event\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nT.J. MILLER is a comedian. He has been diligently working to make people laugh for over two and a half years because life is tragic and the best thing he can do is make you giggle and perhaps pee. He is famous in Norway. A skilled improviser\, no show is ever the same. Let me repeat that- no show you ever see will be the same. Dare you? See them all? \nHis hour-long comedy specials DEAR JONAH (YouTube)\, METICULOUSLY RIDICULOUS (HBO) and NO REAL REASON (Comedy Central) are available to stream now wherever streaming is streamed. His forthcoming special THE PHILOSOPHY CIRCUS showcases his talents as a clown\, a juggler\, and terrible ventriloquist. \nIs he a musician? No. However\, he has two music albums\, THE EXTENDED PLAY E.P.\, a hip-hop/pop/folk music E.P. with 41 tracks\, and THE EXTENDED PLAY E.P.: THE ILLEGAL ART REMIXTAPE- available wherever fake music is listened to. \nMiller’s voice stars as Gene in the EMOJI MOVIE and Fred in Disney’s Academy Award-winning BIG HERO 6. He voiced Tuffnut in the Oscar-nominated HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON and HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2. He played Auggie in the first R-rated stop-motion film HELL AND BACK\, and Prancer in ICE AGE: A MAMMOTH CHRISTMAS. A reindeer! \nOn television\, he voiced Robbie from GRAVITY FALLS\, Tuffnut in DRAGONS: RIDERS OF BERK\, Randy in F IS FOR FAMILY and a volcano in FAMILY GUY. Don’t forget GORBURGER\, a show so strange you’ll just have to google it. \nAnd that’s his voice. \nYou may recognize his non-animated face and body from DEADPOOL 1 & 2\, the highest-grossing R-rated films of all time\, forever\, 2014’s surprise indie hit TRANSFORMERS 4: AGE OF EXTINCTION\, Mike Judge’s HBO series SILICON VALLEY (Critics’ Choice Award for Best Supporting Actor)\, THOSE WHO CAN’T\, GARFUNKEL AND OATS\, HAPPY ENDINGS\, appearances on KIMMEL\, FERGUSON\, COLBERT and CONAN\, or briefly on THE GOODWIN GAMES (canceled after 7 episodes) or CARPOOLERS (13 episodes). He was on CHELSEA LATELY quite a bit and even guest hosted for Chelsea. A ‘regular’ some might call him. Who those people are he’ll never know. \nHe wrote\, produced and starred in the Sundance accepted shorts SUCCESSFUL ALCOHOLICS and I’M HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME KILLING MY PARENTS. Neither won awards. \nT.J. has been in over 25 major studio films- CLOVERFIELD\, SHE’S OUT OF MY LEAGUE\, Mike Judge’s EXTRACT\, SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD\, ROCK OF AGES\, GULLIVER’S TRAVELS\, OUR IDIOT BROTHER\, YOGI BEAR 3D (for which he gave himself a Critic’s Choice Award for Best Supporting Character in a Talking Bear Comedy)\, UNSTOPPABLE\, GET HIM TO THE GREEK\, SEARCH PARTY\, THE GOODS: LIVE HARD\, SELL HARD\, and finally his good friend Jay Baruchel’s GOON: LAST OF THE ENFORCERS. \nMost recently\, T.J. was the star of OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY\, opposite Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston\, i-R0ck in READY PLAYER ONE directed by Steven Spielberg\, UNDERWATER opposite Kristen Stewart; a sci-fi disaster thriller- the perfect full circle return to his roots in CLOVERFIELD\, and finally THE STAND-IN opposite Drew Barrymore\, an official selection for the TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL\, canceled due to the pandemic and 2020 generally being a fuckstick of a year.\nHe resides in Manhattan\, NY\, and Hollywood\, California. He was born in Denver. He died in 2010 of an AVM.\nHe is first and foremost\, a comedian. His standup is “Smooth Like Fire\, Hip Like Lincoln.”\nHe will work until his death to make you happy. He loves you. He is a gentle giant\, and would like you to see a live show. It’s better that way. \nLink to DEAR JONAH (Full Comedy Special) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNoD1oX2iYI \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPittsburgh Improv Info\nID Requirements\nThird-party tickets will not be honored.

Following Titus\, Christopher starred in ABC’s Big Shots\, acting opposite Dylan McDermott\, Michael Vartan and Josh Malina. He also starred in the NBC one-hour pilot\, Future Tense and created and starred in the Bryan Cranston-directed pilot\, Special Unit for Comedy Central. And he recently wrote\, directed\, and starred in a feature version of Special Unit which won the L.A.

His eighth special Amerigeddon is available on Amazon. He recently shot his tenth special\, Carrying Monsters\, a bookend companion piece to Norman Rockwell is Bleeding (his very first show and the source material for the Fox series). His podcast\, The Armageddon Update/Titus Podcast has over 10 million downloads.

You must present ID at the venue\, and the ticketholder’s name must match the name on the ticket. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMs. Pat’s Bio\nDeclared by The Huffington Post as “the real hero of sitcom TV\,” Patricia Williams (aka Ms. Pat) is a comedian\, author\, radio host\, podcaster\, and actress. Her critically acclaimed multi-cam series The Ms. Pat Show\, produced by Lee Daniels and Brian Grazer\, premiered its fourth season in May 2024. The series is streaming on BET+ and Paramount+ with an edited version airing on BET linear. The premiere of the show shattered viewership records on the streamer almost crashing the app and has garnered Emmy Nominations in the “Outstanding Direction for a Comedy Series” category in 2022\, 2023\, and 2024. The Ms. Pat Show\, based on Pat’s real-life story of an inner-city drug dealer turned suburban mom\, has been a hit with fans and critics alike. The Hollywood Reporter raved “Think Roseanne of the 1980s and 1990s\, but even rawer” and Essence Magazine gushed “Ms. Pat is headed for the comedy stratosphere.” \nFollowing the success of The Ms. Pat Show\, BET/Paramount Global signed Pat to a multi-genre overall deal under which she will produce\, write and perform in new series and other projects—both scripted and unscripted— across all platforms. Under this deal\, she debuted her weekly court show Ms. Pat Settles It on BET linear on October 18th\, 2023. In the beloved tradition of Judge Judy\, Judge Joe Brown\, and Steve Harvey\, Pat takes hold of the gavel to settle people’s everyday disputes. Using her signature raw\, unfiltered\, hilarious sensibility that has made her a fan-favorite and critical darling\, Pat and a jury of her comedy friends resolve high stakes disputes including who is financially responsible for dog poop on that rug\, do food stamps count as payment\, and what is proper hair wig etiquette. Another hit for the rapidly emerging entertainment mogul\, the series premiered as the No. 2 show on primetime television for Black viewers as well as Black women in the 18-49 demographic. \nPat also recently costarred in the remake of the 90’s classic film Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead alongside Nicole Ritchie and June Squibb and her hour standup special Y’All Wanna Hear Something Crazy?\, Directed by Robert Townsend and Produced by Wanda Sykes\, is currently streaming on Netflix. The New York Times described the hour as “superb material” while Indiewire offered “There are a lot of comedy specials on Netflix these days\, but Ms. Pat breaks through the noise.” In addition to her standup and TV projects\, Pat also hosts her own top-rated comedy podcast The Patdown. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPittsburgh Improv Info\nID Requirements\nThird-party tickets will not be honored.
