Comedy heavyweights Nate Bargatze, Russell Peters, John Crist, and Nicole Byer will bring the funny to multiple venues across Chicagoland from Nov. 1-5 as part of the inaugural 312 Comedy Festival. 

Bargatze will play three nights at Chicago Theatre from Nov. 3-5, Peters plays Rosemont Theatre on Nov. 4, Crist stops by Rialto Square on Nov. 3, and Byer will be at Riviera Theatre on Nov. 3. 

Additional comedians taking part in the laugh fest include Ari Shaffir, Jeff Ross, Craig Robinson with his band The Nasty Delicious, Dan Cummins, Chad Daniels, and Jamie Lissow.

Eagles add shows

As expected, Eagles have added second shows to their recently announced The Long Goodbye farewell tour. 

Of note to us is a second show at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Oct. 10. 

Previously, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers told us they would be joined by Steely Dan for the stop in Indianapolis on Oct. 9 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on Oct. 13, and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland on Oct. 17. 

In addition to their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 1998, the band has sold more than 150 million albums the past 50 years, with six No. 1 albums and received six Grammy awards. 

Expect more dates to be added as ticket sales continue to be strong.

Porno For Pyros reunite

Porno for Pyros are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their self-titled debut, marking the first time the band has set out on the road in 25 years. 

The band reunited last year for a sold-out show in Los Angeles and played Lollapalooza, the festival singer Perry Farrell founded more than three decades ago.

The upcoming dates include a stop at Aragon Ballroom in Chicago on Oct. 24 and The Fillmore in Detroit on Oct. 27. 

The band has also teased they will release new music later in the year.

Lil Uzi Vert visiting region

Lil Uzi Vert will soon hit the road for the Pink Tape tour, his first headline tour since 2018. The tour is obviously named after the artist’s new album, Pink Tape, featuring guest appearances from Travis Scott, Nicki Minaj, Bring Me the Horizon, Don Toliver, and Babymetal, which was released June 30. 

Check it out when Lil Uzi Vert visits Aragon Ballroom in Chicago on Oct. 23, The Andrew J. Brady Icon Music Center in Cincinnati on Oct. 24, and Fox Theatre in Detroit on Oct. 25.

Undertaker taking questions

He may be mostly done with professional wrestling, but that doesn’t mean The Undertaker is done entertaining. 

The WWE legend is hitting the road to bring his 1 deadMAN SHOW to the Old National Centre in Indianapolis on Nov. 9 and The Agora in Cleveland the following night. 

No, he won’t be body slamming or piledriving anyone in the ring, but it will be an action-packed night. His stage show consists of telling some compelling behind-the-scenes stories from his career and fielding questions from those in attendance. 

This will be your chance to finally ask one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time that one question you have always wanted to get answered.
