Marina Franklin’s Best and Worst Reasons to Date Younger Guys

Don’t let Marina Franklin’s youthful good looks fool you, she’s a well respected veteran of the New York comedy scene who has been featured on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Best Week Ever, @midnight and Women Who Kill. Marina is also one of the best emcees in the city, although she strongly prefers doing a regular set to being the show’s ringmaster. However, she’s one of the many young comics who have stepped up and stepped into regular hosting duties at The Comedy Cellar since Ardie Fuqua was hurt in an accident this summer. So you can catch Marina taming the lions most nights there, but if you want to opportunity to watch Marina stretch out and do an extra-long set, she’ll be headlining New York Comedy Club for two shows on Friday February 13 for a live taping.
