Marlon started performing stand-up comedy for a Psychology 101 project in his sophomore year in college. He joined his first stand-up comedy competition in 2005 after a year of crashing poetry open-mics and university events. Marlon won 1st runner-up in Wave 89.9’s WACK Comedian Search, earning him the opportunity to closely work with comedy veterans Allan Manalo and Tim Tayag. Since then, Marlon has won in three other stand-up comedy competitions.

Marlon has performed at major local venues including Music Museum, Alabang Town Center, Boracay, and many others. In 2006, he amused audiences during the Coffee Bea & Tea Leaf tour opening for Allan Manalo and Tim Tayag. His most recent international performance was at the Take-Out Comedy Shop in Hong Kong.
