Andrew Schulz closed out 2020 with a scathing series of monologues from the comfort of his own home. He’ll be doing much of the same to close out 2021, but this time, Boston is the setting, with four times the amount of action.
With three shows already sold out, Schulz has added a 10 p.m. slot at The Wilbur on Thursday, December 30 to bring his year-ending workload up to four gigs.
Also announced this week at The Wilbur, comedian and award-winning journalist Charlie Berens will bring his highly successful sketch comedy chops to Boston on Wednesday, February 23. It will mark Berens’ first show at The Wilbur, but judging by his past sketch work like “Midwest Guy in Boston,” he won’t have any problem getting comfortable.
Deon Cole has announced his return to The Wilbur, as he will bringing the sweet science to the city on Sunday, March 13 as part of his Coleology Tour. It’ll be the first trek to Boston for Cole since 2018, and if his keen eye for telling it like it is mixed with the absurdities of the these last few years can spell out a preview of what to expect, we are surely in for one hell of a night.
It’s been a hot minute since we last saw Al Franken in a comedy setting, but the former U.S. Senator and SNL star will be making his long-awaited return to the city on Saturday, May 14. There’s no telling what he’ll dive into, as there is certainly more than enough material to choose from, but as the only former U.S. Senator currently on tour, as the name of his latest show suggests, it’ll most likely be a fun night for one side of the aisle, but Franken is sure to dish it out to the whole chamber.
In addition to the presumptive onslaught of politically or socially-driven comedy, those who are looking for something a bit lighter may be delighted to know that Jim Gaffigan has added three more shows to his stay in MA next year, with one more show added at The Chevalier on Thursday, April 21, as well as two shows added at The Wilbur on Saturday, April 23.
With the exception of Schulz, tickets to all shows can be accessed through pre-sale now, using the code VANYA.
