All stand-up comics turned megastars have an itch to return to their roots.
To wit, Adam Sandler repeatedly extended his nationwide arena trek in early 2024, Ellen Degeneres toured for the first time in years this summer and Steve Martin and Martin Short are currently back at it on their ongoing ‘Dukes of Funnytown Tour.’
Now, we can add clever comic turned “Silicon Valley” character actor turned “Big Sick” leading man turned jacked Marvel superstar Kumail Nanjiani to that list.
From September through December, the 46-year-old “Welcome To Chippendales” star will tour all over North America on his first stand-up tour in a decade, which he’s dubbed the ‘Doing This Again Tour.’
And, while he doesn’t currently have any NYC gigs lined up — Nanjiani cut his teeth in the Big Apple in the late aughts —he will get close when he performs at Philadelphia’s The Fillmore on Saturday, Sept. 21.
“Check out my first hour of standup comedy in a decade,” Nanjiani shared on Instagram. “Say hi but don’t say that during the show. That’s considered heckling and it’s punishable by death.”
If you want to see the funnyman live, tickets are available for all 15 ‘Doing This Again Tour’ shows.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets was $43 before fees on Vivid Seats.
