EXCLUSIVE: Inside the Life and Home of Lassy Marquez — The Heart of Beks Battalion and It’s Showtime

From making audiences laugh with his outrageous wit to touching hearts with his authenticity, Lassy Marquez—one-third of the viral comedy group Beks Battalion and a regular on It’s Showtime—is more than just a comedian. Behind the loud laughter and colorful punchlines is a story of resilience, love, and quiet success. And for the first time, Lassy opens his doors and his heart in this exclusive look at his personal life and his home.

From Humble Beginnings to Household Name

Born as John Marquez, Lassy didn’t have it easy growing up. Raised in a modest household in Quezon City, he often used humor to cope with the challenges of life.

“Laughter was my survival,” Lassy shares. “We didn’t have much, but I knew I could make people smile—and that gave me strength.”

His rise to fame started in the comedy bar circuit, where his talent and charisma caught the attention of fellow performers MC Calaquian and Chad Kinis. Together, they formed Beks Battalion, a comedy trio that now dominates YouTube, social media, and live shows with millions of followers.

Their hilarious and heartfelt content made them instant favorites—but it was Lassy’s unique blend of sass and sincerity that truly stood out.

A Peek Inside Lassy’s Personal Sanctuary

In this exclusive visit to Lassy’s home, fans get to see a different side of the comedian. His house, located in a peaceful subdivision in Metro Manila, is a perfect blend of modern comfort and Filipino warmth.

“This house is the fruit of years of hard work,” Lassy says with pride. “It’s simple, but it’s mine—and it’s full of love.”

The interior features neutral tones, clean lines, and plenty of personal touches: framed photos with his Beks Battalion brothers, artwork from fans, and a small prayer altar that reflects his deep spirituality.

A standout feature? His walk-in closet, filled with colorful outfits, statement shoes, and wigs—perfectly representing his larger-than-life persona on stage.

“This is my playground,” Lassy laughs. “Every piece of clothing here has a memory—of performances, shows, or just fun times.”

Love, Family, and Authenticity

Though Lassy is known for his high energy and comedic flair, he’s also deeply family-oriented. He remains close to his siblings and often supports his family financially and emotionally.

“My success is not just for me,” he says. “It’s for them, too. They’re my ‘why’.”

As for love? Lassy has kept his romantic life private, but he admits he’s open to a relationship—“as long as it’s real and respectful.”

“I don’t need someone to complete me. I just want someone who will walk beside me,” he says with a smile.

It’s Showtime and Beyond

Lassy’s role in It’s Showtime has further solidified his place in mainstream entertainment. His chemistry with the show’s hosts, and especially with fellow comedians, brings a refreshing energy to the screen.

“Showtime is not just work—it’s family,” he says. “We laugh together, we cry together, and we lift each other up.”

But beyond TV and vlogging, Lassy has even bigger dreams. He hopes to venture into producing films and content that represent the LGBTQIA+ community in a deeper, more meaningful way.

“Comedy is my language, but storytelling is my soul,” he says. “I want to inspire people to live their truth.”

Final Thoughts

Lassy Marquez has proven that behind every joke is a human being with a story worth telling. His journey from the comedy bar stage to national TV is not just a tale of success—it’s a testament to staying true to oneself, working hard, and never losing the ability to laugh through the tears.

As his star continues to rise, one thing is clear: Lassy is not just here to entertain—he’s here to inspire.
