Marc Yaffee Native American comedian, writer and actor. Show and Recording Session

Stand-up comedian Marc Yaffee returns with his unique blend of humor to the Willits Community Theatre on Sunday, April 30 at 2pm. Internationally-known for his wide range of material, Yaffee made his debut appearance at WCT last year, thrilling his audience with his original, culturally-mixed comedy. By birth a mixture of Navajo, Caucasian and Mexican heritages, Yaffee was raised in a Jewish family. He takes his audiences on a joyride that explores his multi-ethnic roots and the culture clashes that fill his world.

Self-described as tall, dark and hilarious, Yaffee offers smart, relatable comedy with a universal appeal that has landed him appearances on PBS, Comics Unleashed, The Latino Laugh Festival and the historic Showtime special, Goin Native. He jokes about his being one-quarter blood Navajo, saying, I get no respect. I went to the pow-wow and tried dancing and they said, Sit down, our people have suffered enough.

Yaffee has won the Gold Rush Comedy Competition, the National Indian Gaming Association's Entertainer of the Year in 2010, and the Ventura Comedy Festival's Funniest Person Contest in 2012. He tours regularly with the Pow Wow Comedy Jam and founded and co-stars in the Boomerang Baby Boomer's Comedy Bash. Funny but not filthy, Yaffee in his second appearance at WCT offers a rare opportunity for the audience to enjoy his original comedy recipe and the non-stop laughs.
