Baboon

A wildly expressive comedian who lives to make people laugh.

Martin Lawrence built his career on rubber-faced, high-energy physical comedy and an elastic, improvisational performing style — classic baboon traits. His sitcom 'Martin' showcased his gift for playing multiple zany characters with warmth and shrewd social observation, and his stand-up specials reveal someone who is deeply affectionate toward his audience while delighting in chaos and absurdity. Like the baboon, Lawrence is simultaneously sharp, emotionally expressive, and most alive when he's at the center of a crowd's laughter.
