Marlon Wayans: Woke-ish

Marlon Wayans: Woke-ish (2018) is a Netflix stand-up special you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Marcus Raboy, this 68-minute set has Wayans doing what he does best — poking at topics most comedians now sidestep. Race, parenting, hip-hop, the pressure to hold all the right opinions. He's not fully woke. He's trying. Sort of.

Wayans has a knack for making uncomfortable material funny without turning the room into a lecture. If polished, hedge-everything comedy has started to feel safe to the point of dull, this one goes somewhere different. Stream Marlon Wayans: Woke-ish (2018) online on iFILM.
