Brett Goldstein at Modell Performing Arts Center at the Lyric

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.

Brian Regan at Hippodrome Theatre

Brian Regan

Critics and peers agree Brian Regan has distinguished himself as one of the premier comedians in the country. The "perfect balance of sophisticated writing and physicality" (Wall Street Journal), Brian fills theaters nationwide with fervent fans that span generations. His clean language and sharp, sarcastic observations on everyday life have led him to be known as the "comedian's comedian".

Wanda Sykes at The Hall at Live Casino and Hotel

Wanda Sykes

The Monster-In-law actress and comedian is acknowledged as one of the funniest stand-up comics by her peers and ranks among Entertainment Weekly's 25 Funniest People in America. Known for her lively, machine-gun fire wit that has seen her play the straight-talking sidekick in various film and tv projects, Sykes' repertoire focuses on wide-ranging subjects including gay marriage, racism and even federal government overspending. You name it, she'll most likely have an opinion - and a cuss - for it.

Brad Williams at Modell Performing Arts Center at the Lyric

Brad Williams

California-born Williams has made a striking mark on the nationwide comedy circuit, as well as having a large fanbase online as a guest on various comedy podcasts and radio shows. First discovered by Carlos Mencia at his live show after noticing him in the audience, the young Williams was invited on stage to contribute to the show, to huge applause. Regularly making references and jokes concerning his dwarfism, Williams displays a brazen attitude towards subjects including disability, relationships, sex, and race, attracting new audiences with every appearance.

Jerry Seinfeld at The Hall at Live Casino and Hotel

Jerry Seinfeld

He will always be unquestionably linked to his namesake series, but since finishing it in 1998, Jerry Seinfeld has kept extremely busy. In 2002 he starred as the subject of "Comedian", a behind-the-scenes documentary film that followed him both on and off-stage travelling on his national stand-up tour, which reflected on his post-Seinfeld life - including fatherhood. He's continued to work of various TV projects ever since, and regularly hits the road on tour to show the newcomers how it's done.
