David Cross at Shaftman Performance Hall

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!

Jim Gaffigan at Berglund Center Coliseum

Jim Gaffigan

As a stand-up comedian, Gaffigan's clever, quiet, and family-friendly style has earned him a a rapid rise through the comedy ranks, and he now stands as one of the country's most popular comedians. His eponymous sitcom on TV Land broadened his appeal still further, to such an extent that he was picked by KFC to play Colonel Sanders in their TV ads! One of only 10 comedians to ever sell out Madison Square Garden, he's a New York Times bestseller and a Grammy nominee, as well as a father of five (phew). Catch him live on the Barely Alive tour this year!

Jeff Dunham at Berglund Center Coliseum

Jeff Dunham

One of the most successful comics in the business, Jeff Dunham continues his 'Still Not Cancelled' tour into 2024. He'll, of course, be joined by Achmed, Jose Jalapeno and the rest of his very animated, outrageous friends for an evening of envelope-pushing ventriloquism. Don't miss your chance to catch him live as he heads to a venue near you!
