Kathleen Madigan at Ryman Auditorium

Kathleen Madigan

Described by comedy peer Lewis Black as the "funniest woman in America", the winner of the American Comedy Award for Best Female Comedian is a triple threat; as well as her sell-out tours, Madigan is a favorite on late-night talk shows and nationally syndicated radio shows. With an enviable career spanning three decades on the comedy circuit, she has the distinction of being one of few comics to appear on every major late-night show including Leno, Letterman, Conan, and Ferguson.

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.

David Cross at Brooklyn Bowl

David Cross

Many know him as the kooky never-nude Tobias Funke from the cult classic show Arrested Development, or as the titular character in the black comedy The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, but David Cross cultivated his humor as a young stand-up in New York in the 80s before establishing himself as a TV star. The comedian steps back into the spotlight with his 'The End Of The Beginning Of The End' tour, kicking off this fall!

Pauly Shore at Zanies Comedy Club Nashville

Pauly Shore

Inimitable funnyman Pauly Shore first found fame in the 1990s with a persona entitled 'The Weasel', a stoner parody that attracted the attention of MTV, leading to a string of TV and film roles that capitalized on the stand-up skill he'd cultivated since the tender age of 17. Comedy runs in his veins; his mother founded the famous Comedy Store in LA and his father was an old-school comic, opening shows for the likes of Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley.

Whitney Cummings at James K Polk Theater

Whitney Cummings

Co-creator of 2 Broke Girls, podcast host and star of her own NBC show, the hilariously honest comedian Whitney Cummings is taking to the road.

Atsuko Okatsuka at James K Polk Theater

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!
