Aries Spears talks about Stand Up Comedy Career, MAD TV, Impressions & more.

Comedian Aries Spears joins host Elias on the podcast.
Aries has been a force to be reckoned with in the comedy scene throughout America. His quick wit, charisma and ferociously aggressive style of comedy have earned him critical acclaim, high accolades, and above all, a busy schedule. From being a regular on Fox’s Mad TV, starring in feature films, appearing on a number of national talk shows, and continually touring the country with his stand-up where he continually sells out each and every city, Aries’ talents are becoming recognized and appreciated throughout the entertainment industry.
As a principal cast member on Fox’s hit sketch comedy show Mad TV, Aries brought a fresh, hip style to the already-edgy program from the third through the tenth season. The producers made full use of many of Aries’s talents by calling on him frequently to create new hilarious characters and write sketches where he thrived for eight seasons.
Simultaneously, his ever expanding Spears & Steinberg podcast enters its second year in which Aries and partner Andy discuss current events, comedy and life on the road. Often referred to as one of the most addictive and intelligent hours of continual comedy banter available at America's fingertips.
