John Crist

About this event:

John Crist is coming to Will Rogers Auditorium on Saturday, May 2! Comedian John Crist announces his Spring 2026 John Crist Live Tour, which will include more than 30 cities and a nationwide trek. Kicking off Friday, January 23 in Joliet, Illinois, the route includes stops in New York City, Anaheim, Louisville, Fort Worth, Little Rock, Cedar Rapids and more. “We’ve toured all over the country and been successful,” Crist said. “Basically my agent said you can go wherever you want, so I chose the cities! Starting in Nashville, going to New York and LA, making a hot run through Texas, Bentonville, Arkansas (special for personal reasons) and then ending the run in my hometown Atlanta, Georgia! And all the cities in between, some we’ve never been to before!” The announcement further cements a milestone year for Crist, who has built a devoted fan base of 7.5+ million through his tastefully unhinged, family-friendly comedic takes on everything from strict upbringings and church culture to group texts, sports and pop culture trends. This announcement also follows the news of a one-night-only show at Nashville’s iconic Grand Ole Opry House, set for January 25, 2026. Earlier this year, Crist made his late-night debut on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon with a crowd-favorite segment correcting his fiancée’s commonly misused phrases. He also released his latest comedy special, John Crist: Emotional Support, which has racked up 3.5M+ views on YouTube alone. Crist also hosts the comedy-meets-pop culture podcast Net Positive with John Crist, which has featured guests such as Matt Rife, Leanne Morgan, Dave Ramsey, Creed’s Scott Stapp, Michael W. Smith, and Kirk Herbstreit. Fans can tune into new weekly episodes from his podcast, here: youtube.com/@netpositivepod.
