Aries Spears

Comedian and master impressionist, Aries Spears makes his Ruth Eckerd Hall debut!

New York native Aries Spears 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 and high accolades.. 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 where he continually sells out each and every city, Aries’ talents are widespread as he just passed the 3 million spins played on Pandora and his podcast is one of the "Musts" in the U.S. Aries guest starred in CNN’s See It Loud summer series on the history of Black Television which was one of their hit docuseries of 2023.

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 and can be recognized for many of his recurring characters and impersonations on the show including Belma Buttons, Mike Tyson, Jesse Jackson, and more. Aries has also found great success in the world of feature films, landing a starring role alongside John Leguizamo in TriStar’s The Pest followed by the notable role as Cuba Gooding, Jr.’s brother in Columbia’s blockbuster hit, Jerry Maguire. Additionally, Aries has made appearances on many talk shows including: Loveline, Vibe, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Soul Train and Late Friday.
