Best Comedy & Stand-up This Spring

in Kansas City

Taylor Tomlinson at Arvest Bank Theatre at The Midland

Taylor Tomlinson

Rising comedian Taylor Tomlinson is hitting the road once again this year! After cutting her teeth as a comedian at the tender age of 16 in church basements, Tomlinson has made appearances on Conan, The Tonight Show and has three Netflix stand-up specials already under her belt. Don't miss the blossoming of this exciting new comedic voice as she storms a stage near you!

Wanda Sykes at Music Hall Kansas City

Wanda Sykes

The Monster-In-law actress and comedian is acknowledged as one of the funniest stand-up comics by her peers and ranks among Entertainment Weekly's 25 Funniest People in America. Known for her lively, machine-gun fire wit that has seen her play the straight-talking sidekick in various film and tv projects, Sykes' repertoire focuses on wide-ranging subjects including gay marriage, racism and even federal government overspending. You name it, she'll most likely have an opinion - and a cuss - for it.

Martin Lawrence at T-Mobile Center

Martin Lawrence

Martin Lawrence, the original Bad Boy of comedy, is gearing up for the release of his long-awaited sequel 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' with Will Smith, set for general release in summer 2024. But the actor/comedian/singer isn't resting on his laurels until that happy day, as he's hitting the road this year for the 'Y'all Know What It Is! Tour,' his first tour in 8 years. Outspoken on subjects such as relationships, family, and vocal opposition to police brutality, Lawrence's raw style shows no sign of mellowing as we head into the new year. Be warned - this comic takes no prisoners at his shows!
