Wayans started his standup-comedy career in 1982, eventually
landing a role in Eddie Murphy's Beverly Hills Cop (1984) and in his brother
Keenen's film, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1984). Damon's successful film career
helped him land a role on the TV sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live in
1985. Wayans left the show after only a year in order to pursue more film
projects, including Hollywood Shuffle (1987), Roxanne (1987) with Steve Martin,
and Punchline (1988) with Tom Hanks.
In 1990, Wayans experienced a new level of fame as a member
of his brother Keenen's new sketch comedy show In Living Color. He stayed on
the show for only two years, but during that time he popularized characters
such as Blankman, who later became the inspiration for a full-length feature
film in 1994, and Homey D. Clown.
In 2001, Damon starred on the TV series My Wife and Kids,
which earned him critical acclaim and lasted for four years. Since then, he has
been involved in a series of projects including voiceover work for Farce of the
Penguins (2006) and a sketch comedy show on Showtime called The Underground
(2006).
He currently lives in Beverly Hills, California. Damon will
be performing at the Stardome Comedy Club June 27-29.
