Eddie Izzard at Knight Theatre

Eddie Izzard

Iliza Shlesinger at Ovens Auditorium

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.

David Sedaris at Ovens Auditorium

David Sedaris

David Sedaris is a Grammy Award-nominated humorist, writer, comedian, bestselling author, and radio contributor. Much of his humor is drawn from his unconventional North Carolina upbringing, his varied stream of odd-jobs (Christmas elf at Macy's, anyone?) and plays to his self-deprecating strengths, and now often concerns his life today in France with his partner.

Tracy Morgan at The Comedy Zone

Tracy Morgan

Comedian Tracy Morgan continues his comeback following his horrible, life-threatening traffic accident in 2014. Coming to fame as a stand-up, Morgan became a household name through his seven-season stint on the Tina Fey show 30 Rock, playing a hilarious, thinly veiled version of himself named Tracy Jordan.

Atsuko Okatsuka at Fillmore Charlotte

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!

Carlos Ballarta at Booth Playhouse

Carlos Ballarta

Mexican comedian Carlos Ballarta is touring across the States this fall. Not one to follow in the footsteps of others, Ballarta is the first comic to have performed their whole set in Spanish at multiple venues, including Montreal's Just for Laughs comedy festival. Want three jokes about elotes? He's got them. Famed for his dark sense of humor, Ballarta typically focuses on topics such as politics and religion, with a splash of family life thrown in for good measure. Whether you're learning Spanish or a native speaker, this one's for you!

Marlon Wayans at Ovens Auditorium

T.J. Miller at The Comedy Zone

T.J. Miller

Also known as Erlich Bachman in HBO sitcom Silicon Valley and Wade Wilson's wise-cracking friend in Deadpool, Miller is an accomplished comedian and actor. Known for his deadpan zingers and semi-stoner persona, he's not afraid of controversy (that Uber ride, and the gig in Puerto Rica), often stirring the pot with absurdist observational standup act for over 10 years. In addition, he has also lent his raspy voice to animated hits How To Train Your Dragon 1 and 2 and Big Hero 6.

85 South at Bojangles Coliseum

85 South

From auspicious beginnings in Steve Harvey's very own studio, the 85 South Comedy Show made their way onto the podcast scene with the tagline 'a podcast for people who know what a podcast is'. Legend has it, the rib-tickling trio behind the show (namely Atlanta actors and comedians DC Young Fly, Karlous Miller and Clayton English) were unceremoniously kicked out of the aforementioned studio, but stuck to their guns and carved a niche by bringing the freshest comedic talent from the South onto their platform to perform free-styles, stand-up routines and hilarious audio sketches.

Trevor Wallace at The Comedy Zone

Trevor Wallace

With his laid-back wit garnering him an aggregated 2.5 billion views on social media, his own podcast, and appearances on Comedy Central, MTV, The New York Times, Buzzfeed, and more it is safe to say that Trevor Wallace is onto something good. Catch the stand-up, actor, and writer live this year, as he steps off the screen to deliver his self-assured observations live on stage!

Nick Mullen at The Comedy Zone

Nick Mullen
