Hi, I am Marcos Lerma. I'm a certified funny Austin based Comedy Screenwriter with roots established in the  Chicago Improv Comedy Community. 

People describe my comedy as Fred Armisen meets Vanessa Bayer meets John Belushi meets Aidy Bryant meets Dana Carvey meets Chevy Chase meets Micheal Che meets Pete Davidson meets Rachel Dratch meets Jimmy Fallon meets Chris Farley meets Will Farrell meets Tina Fey meets Bill Hader meets Leslie Jones meets Colin Jost meets Julia Louis-Dreyfus meets Norm Macdonald meets Kate McKinnon meets Tim Meadows meets Seth Meyers meets Kyle Mooney meets Tracy Morgan meets Eddie Murphy meets Bill Murry meets Mike Meyers meets Chris Parnell meets Nasim Pedram meets Amy Pohler meets Guilda Radner meets Chriss Red meets Tim Robinson meets Chris Rock meets Maya Ruldolph meets Andy Samberg meets  Adam Sandler meets Horatio Sanz meets Rob Schnider meets Martin Short meets Sarah Silverman meets David Spade meets Ben Stiller meets Cecily Strong meets Jason Sudekis meets Kenan Thompson and  Melissa Villasenor meets  Kristen Wiig.   

After spending a ton of money to become funny, I am looking to start a long fulfilling career in comedy.  This money went to a couple degrees and a shit ton of “comedy classes” at theatres like The Second City, The IO Theater, The Annoyance Theatre & Bar (half of the investment went to the bar)  and  Austin based theatre; The Hideout. 

I currently hold a MFA in Screenwriting with a Comedy Concentration from DePaul University to accompany my BA in Dramatic Media (DRAMA/Theatre) from a school you have never heard of; Texas Lutheran University. I also have another BA in in Communications Studies from Texas Lutheran University.
