Marty's stand-up comedy has been described as "Monty Python meets Film-Noir." His routine revolves around his love of horror movies, Metallica (t-shirts), Yogurtland, Doo Wop singers and the dark side of the human experience. He can be seen performing regularly at The Rec Room in Huntington Beach.
Comedian and new father Marty Wurst has launched a new comedy web series, featuring his infant son Henry. In the series, He Said, Goo Said, Marty and his son review children’s books, movies, food, and baby products. There are read-alongs, movie reenactments, and a generous supply of unscripted baby cuteness. The episodes are posted weekly on Tuesdays. You can watch them here.
This is a PG-13 comedy show with absurdist humor. A punk-rock Reading Rainbow. It is geared towards grown-ups and relatable to parents that need a good laugh after a long day.
Marty was inspired to create He Said, Goo Said as he counted down the months to becoming a father. He wanted to document Henry’s first year and also keep up his passion for making comedy. Marty discovered Henry was the perfect straight man to his lunacy and his honest baby reactions could drive the comedy home. Starting a project with a weekly deadline was the perfect antidote to the monotony of being a stay at home Dad.
Marty is also the co-creator of The Films Have Eyes. Click on the banner below!
