Editor’s Note: With a brand new year comes new shows, new faces, and a new format for Vanyaland’s recurring weekly live comedy rundown, Mic’d Up. We’ll be hyping club shows, theater and arena gigs, open mics, and whatever else to help fill your free time with some much-needed laughter.
There’s only room is this town for one loveable ginger comic at a time, and Bill Burr is currently on his way to making his Broadway debut. So, Andrew Santino is taking the opportunity to pay us a visit, and spread some frosty-freezy Valentine’s weekend love of his own.
Returning to the legendary Wilbur stage on Friday (February 14) as part of his Freeze Peach tour, Santino has four sold-out shows on the docket, as well as a brand new batch of jokes and stories that, as history has shown us with the Chicago native, will surely get the house shaking from the jump. Since his last trek to the city, which came at the literal end of 2022 when he closed down the Wilbur on New Year’s Eve, Santino has continued his ascension through the comedy game with a consistent touring schedule, as well as appearing in the Netflix series Beef, reprised his role as Mike in Lil’ Dicky’s hit FX series Dave, and even scored a few voice acting roles like Ten Year Old Tom, Fairfax, and Royal Crackers.
Let the magical cheeto dust sprinkle over you with Santino at the helm, and maybe even etch out some of your Valentine’s date plans to include some of the most expertly crafted comedy in the game today.
ANDREW SANTINO :: Friday, February 14 and Saturday, February 15 at The Wilbur Theatre, 246 Tremont St. in Boston, MA :: Times vary, $49 to $69.50 :: Advance tickets
