About Jason

Jason Marcus is a writer and comic from Boston whose writing blends realistic characters with absurdist premises to explore our uniquely human experiences in universally relatable ways.

Most recently, he wrote for the Hugo Awards as well as an upcoming series on Netflix and was selected for the Native American Showrunner Program (sponsored by Bad Robot, Comcast NBCUniversal, and Walt Disney Television). Some previous accolades include the Austin Film Festival, the PAGE Awards, and the Fresh Voices Contest to name a few.

Jason participated in the NBC Late Night Writers Workshop and is a Native American TV Writers Lab alum. He lives in LA with his wife, their twin toddlers, and a pug named Macho Man.

He formerly staffed at mitú, a digital media company catering to Latino millennials, and he has contributed editorial pieces to Condé Nast (Glamour) as well as Hearst (Cosmopolitan) magazines since 2014.

Jason started performing stand-up in 2005 when he was 19, and was touring internationally by the time he was 22. He won the Detroit International Comedy Festival as well as Catch a Rising Star's "Catch a New Rising Star" Competition and was a finalist in Budd Friedman and Adam Sandler's "Funny People" Contest in Las Vegas. Catch him live whenever the pandemic ends and we can laugh in public again.

Unique traits: I just sat on a Ouija board and butt-dialed Hitler. How's your day going?
