New-York based Marina Franklin is emerging as one of the hottest comedians in the comedy scene today, with such notable appearances as Chapelle’s Show, NBC’s Last Comic Standing Season II, VH1’s Black to the Future, Oxygen’s Girls Behaving Badly, Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, and Showtime at The Apollo. She is a favorite in Comedy Festivals across the world, like Montreal’s Just For Laughs, New York Underground Comedy Festival, Ireland’s Kilkenny Comedy Festival, and Nashville’s Bonnaroo Music Festival. Franklin’s career in entertainment wasn’t always in stand-up comedy; originally from Chicago, she made her acting debut at the Illinois Rep Theatre. She then quickly realized her love for acting and went on to pursue a MFA in acting at Syracuse University. Franklin wants you to know she’s viciously likeable, if there is such a thing.

The year 2008 was a stellar one for Ethiopian-born singer/songwriter, Wayna. Her single "Moonlight Rendezvous" from the LP Higher Ground charted the Billboards for seven consecutive weeks, peaking at #3 on the Hot R&B Singles chart and #12 on Billboard's Hot 100. The follow-up single, "My Love" an impassioned plea to the loved ones of abused women, spent six consecutive weeks on Billboard, peaking at #2 on the Hot R&B Singles chart and #12 on the Hot 100. Under her record label, Keradion Music Group, Wayna closed out the year by garnering a coveted Grammy nomination in the Best Urban/Alternative Performance Category for her remake, "Lovin You (Music) featuring Kokayi." The song, which she also co-produced, is a fitting representation of her dynamic musical style, which can be found between Minnie Riperton, Lauryn Hill, and Billie Holiday. Listen to the latest Bean Soup Times interview with Wayna Part Two
