Sarah Silverman at Ovens Auditorium

Sarah Silverman

Sarah Silverman embarks on her brand new US tour, 'Sarah Silverman: Postmortem'. She may have become known for her no-holds-barred exploration of taboo subjects, but an incisive and brave performer lives underneath all that controversy. She rose through the stand-up ranks in the 00s, and created her own eponymous Comedy Central show, The Sarah Silverman Program. Be warned though - no subject is taboo for this leading comedian!

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.

Dane Cook at Ovens Auditorium

Dane Cook

American film and television actor, comedian and bona fide eye candy indulgence Dane Cook is back on the road with the Fresh New Flavor Tour! The American Gods star is one of the country's most popular comedians, with a guy-next-door attitude that serves to expand his comedy with many audiences. Don't miss him as he continues to dominate stages and bring hilarious memories for all who attend.

Eddie Griffin at Ovens Auditorium

Eddie Griffin

He's back! Eddie Griffin returns to the stage this fall from Las Vegas to New York with his unique perspective of the world around him, his life, politics, religion and whatever else strikes his fancy. He has been listed as one of the top one hundred comedians of all time - and honestly, it is time you took the time to see him live on stage! It is all right if you don't know him for his comedy because you have likely seen or heard of him in a different media.

Jinkx and DeLa Holiday Show at Booth Playhouse

Jinkx and DeLa Holiday Show

The Queens of Christmas return for 2024 with another holiday spectacular for everyone naughty or nice! Making the yuletide gay since 2018, this glorious collaboration from two of RuPaul's DragRace's most glittering alumni is the perfect tonic for the hysteria of the holiday season, with boozy holiday cheer infused with good old razzle-dazzle song and dance numbers, copious amounts of eggnog and classic carols with a cheeky drag twist. If you're Nutcracker-phobic then this double act has your alternative holiday entertainment sorted, Jinkx will spice things up and Dela will cover them in sugar!

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.

Whose Live Anyway? at Ovens Auditorium

Whose Live Anyway?

Whose Live Anyway (originally called A Night of Improv) first appeared in 1999 when it sold out two shows in under three hours to very enthusiastic crowds in Vancouver. Following its initial success, Whose Line Executive Producer and star Ryan Stiles expanded the number of appearances of the show to include many major cities in the Western USA and Canada where it has remained a constant sell-out.

Randy Feltface at The Comedy Zone

Randy Feltface

He's Australian, he's purple, he's made of fabric, and has his hands attached to sticks, it's Randy Feltface! You might know Randy from his plethora of television and YouTube appearances, including Bring the Funny, Feltopia, and international hit Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun. Randy's observational comedy will leave you in stitches, so don't miss out on the First Banana tour!

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!
