Brett Goldstein

Emmy award-winning actor, director, writer, and comedian Brett Goldstein is bringing his stand-up to you on the second leg of the tour 'The Second Best Night of Your Life'! The tour, being a hit and selling out venues in 2023, he's decided to continue into 2024. A true jack of all trades, you'd be a fool to miss his return to the comedy stage.

Felipe Esparza at Orpheum Theater

Felipe Esparza

With his wild tangle of curly black hair and a boyish, mischievous grin permanently on his face, Felipe Esparza cuts a unique figure in the world of stand up. Winner of the 2010 season of Last Comic Standing, the Mexican-born, East LA-raised funnyman overcame the poverty, gang violence and drug addiction of his youth using comedy as an emotional outlet. Don't miss this hilarious dark horse of comedy!

Iliza Shlesinger at Mahalia Jackson Theatre

Iliza Shlesinger

Iliza Shlesinger is on fire and taking no prisoners! In what has been a whirlwind rise to popularity in the last few years, she's the only female to have won the title of NBC's Last Comic Standing, her debut comedy special Warpaint was one of the most downloaded comedy specials on iTunes and Netflix picked up her follow-up Freezing Hot, a hilarious stand-up special that showcases her high-energy observational routine and sparky digs at the gender divide.

Jo Koy at Saenger Theatre

Jo Koy

One of the most popular comics on today's circuit, it's rather hard to imagine Koy starting off in a humble Las Vegas coffee shop way back in 1994. As a regular panelist on Chelsea Lately's late-night show, he's won over audiences with his own eclectic brand of observational comedy, often stemming from family for inspiration and more often than not, his young son! Catch him live on tour - now continuing in 2024!

Wild N Out at Smoothie King Center

Wild N Out

Nick Cannon's outrageous improv phenomenon is breaking out of your screens and heading out on tour for a run of special live shows in 2024! The multi-talented film, TV, comedy and music star has been running riot with the popular MTV series, which features two teams of comedians lead by Cannon and an A-list celebrity guest as they go head to head in lightning-fast improv rounds.

Atsuko Okatsuka at The Civic Theatre

Atsuko Okatsuka

Comedian Atsuko Okatsuka is coming to you! Okatsuka went viral after creating the #Dropchallenge with her grandmother, where she drops (like it's hot!) and comes back up as slowly as she possibly can, she even taught Chelsea Handler how to do it on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The method behind her madness is pure and simple, silliness, saying that if it makes her happy, she hopes it'll make others happy. Striving to spread joy through her comedy, she's the perfect way to beat those end-of-summer blues. Tickets are quickly selling out, so get yours now for her nationwide tour!

TK Kirkland at The Fillmore
