Best Comedy & Stand-up This Fall

in Albuquerque

David Sedaris at Popejoy Hall

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.

Matteo Lane at Kiva Auditorium

Matteo Lane

Comedian Matteo Lane is on the road across North America with his new show, The Al Dente Tour! Named by Variety as one of the Top Ten Comics To Watch, the 36-year-old Illinois native has cemented his global popularity with appearances on Netflix's "Stand Out", a celebration of the best of LGBTQ+ comedy, as well as appearances alongside Aziz Ansari and Chelsea Handler among others.

Russell Peters at Quezadas Comedy Club

Russell Peters

This Anglo-Indian Canadian stand-up comic is one of most successful touring, and has been nominated for numerous awards. Despite having eluding the stratospheric level of fame as his peers, Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld, his last world tour netted him $19m, putting him third on the list of the highest earners on the comedy circuit.
