General Interests
I have the exact build of Michael Phelps.
6'4" - size 14 shoe - 6'7" wing span.
However, if my son or daughter were drowning in the ocean more than 100 yards away, I would pass out at about the 67 yard mark as I swam to them.

I love my wife, my two kids, and comedy.

About Marty Simpson
Marty simultaneously served as the Head Football Coach and Lead Drama Director at a high school in South Carolina for eight years.

How many folks, do you suppose, took their school's football team all the way to the state championship in the fall, and then produced and directed Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest to sell-out crowds in the spring?

We know of at least one.

Marty's act is filled with antics and adventures from his real life. Nothing is off limits. His wife, his kids, his dogs, his style of worship, his former college football playing days with the Gamecocks, and his awkward relationships with his African-American friends, all get discussed on stage.

Marty knows, THE CODE, which he claims is the secret to "getting along" with black people. It was this fact that caught the attention of B.E.T. (Evidently, BET knew THE CODE too!) In March of 2009, Marty went to an open call audition for B.E.T.'s new show A Time to Laugh and was one of three caucasians to even try out, and he was the only white comic featured on the show. In addition to appearing as a stand-up comic, Marty was also cast in several sketches. Marty is happy to allow this Affirmative Re-Action© to carry him as far as it is able!

Marty has performed in clubs across America from Atlanta's Uptown Comedy Corner and The Punchline, all the way to Los Angeles' famed Comedy Store. Marty's performance venues include clubs, churches, elderly facilities, children's birthday parties, talent shows, fund-raisers, and he has hosted rock concert events. No event is too large or too small for Marty's style of comedy.

Marty's clean, fun, up-lifting, story telling ability is mixed with just the right amount of bitterness and self deprecation to be an overall hilarious experience for audiences of all ages, races, genders, and species.
