Demarco Mason also known as Fat Marco is a hilarious stand-up comedian who grew up in the heart of the DMV, where the traffic is crazy, and the people are even crazier. But that's what makes his hometown so special - it's full of characters and stories that he can turn into funny material. Marco was born and raised in the Washington DC area and grew up all over PG County. You may have seen him at a comedy club or by laughing at one of his viral videos on Instagram. His unique blend of observational humor, storytelling, and physical comedy has made him a favorite among audiences across the DMV and on Instagram where he has gained over 31k fans and followers.
Marco was born August 31,1995, and has been a fan of stand-up comedy ever since. He would spend hours watching stand-up specials, The Martin Lawrence Show, and practicing his own jokes in front of the mirror. After years of honing his craft, he finally took the plunge at the age of 20 and started performing at local open mics.
It wasn't long before Marco's natural talent and charisma caught the attention of bookers, club owners, and other big-name comedians. Marco has performed and dominated over 100 stand-up comedy shows. He quickly became a regular at some of the most popular comedy clubs, including the DC Improv, Comedy Store in LA, DC Comedy Loft, and MGM Theatre. He has opened for some of the funniest in the game such as, Bill Bellamy, Druski, Isaiah Kelly, TK Kirkland and most recently DC’s own Chico Bean, at the MGM Theatre in front of 3,000 people. Marco also has been casted in a few DC based movies such as, The Mad Chef and The Lot. He plans on tackling screen writing and acting, so that one day he can see himself on mainstream television shows and box office movies.
Marco's material covers a wide range of topics, from his experiences growing up in the DMV to the jokes of everyday life. His physicality, loud laughter, and facial expressions add an extra layer of hilarity to his jokes, making him a standout performer in a crowded field. What he loves most about stand-up comedy is that he can turn his pain into comedy. He once said, “My comedy style is all about keeping it real. I talk about the things that people are thinking but are too afraid to say out loud. I'm not afraid to push the boundaries and tackle controversial topics, but I always make sure to do it in a way that's both hilarious and thought-provoking.”
Despite his success, Marco remains grounded and dedicated to his craft. He continues to perform regularly across the DMV and beyond because he is always looking for new ways to make audiences laugh. Whether you catch him at a local club or on a national tour, one thing is certain: Fat Marco is a comedian who is destined for great things.
