Shawn Wayans, Finesse Mitchell and Marlon Wayans at Syracuse University.

Shawn and Marlon Wayans (aka the Wayans Bros.) along with Finesse Mitchell and newcomer Spoken Reasons played a show at Syracuse over the weekend.   In addition to their 1990s sit-com the Wayans Bros. are also film producers and directors.

Saturday’s show was a fundraiser for the Syracuse Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.  The fraternity historically brings some great comics to campus (such as D.L. Hughley and John Witherspoon).

And in case you are in the mood for a family reunion, it was also announced recently that the first generation of Wayans Bros. (Damon and Keenan) will team up with Shawn and Marlon next year to do a series of stand up shows.
