Black Box Theatre

Marion Grodin was born funny. How could she not have been? It's in her DNA. Of course, her father, the comedy icon Charles Grodin, passed along all his "funny", but this legacy goes back to her great grandparents even. Marion's hysterical show, "Growing Up Grodin" traces how this comedy dynamo evolved into being one of the country’s funniest, warmest, most relatable comedians working today. Marion gives her audience a behind-the-scenes look at how growing up around eccentric, colorful characters made her who she is today.

Marion has been a nationally headlining comedian for the last fifteen years. She has opened for Lewis Black, Linda Ronstadt, and Robert Klein, to name just a few. She is also a favorite on the philanthropic circuit, performing regularly for organizations such as Gilda's Club, JCC's Nationwide. Additionally, she recently co-hosted the Juvenile Diabetes Annual Fundraiser alongside Mary Tyler Moore. Along with her unforgettable live performances, Marion has also appeared on The Conan O'Brien Show, The Joy Behar Show, and just made her second appearance on The View.
