Comedy On Tour: Eric Andre, Chris Fleming & More Comics Working Out New Material This Fall

Working out new material for a new special calls for stand up comedians needing to hit the road to prep for their next special. In this week's Comedy On Tour recap, we've got just about something for everyone on the whole spectrum of comedy. Here are the latest & greatest tour announces this week from Eric Andre, Jay Jurden, Chris Fleming, Jessica Kirson & Jo Koy.

Eric Andre is a comedian, actor and creator and host of Adult Swim’s hit series “The Eric Andre Show,” which returned this summer for its sixth season.  He can currently be seen as an expert panelist on ABC’s “The Prank Panel,” alongside Johnny Knoxville and Gabourey Sidibe, and he recently launched his first podcast “Bombing with Eric Andre” as part of the iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players Network.

Jessica Kirson is a powerhouse on stage. She’s a hilariously relatable performer of sheer silliness, vulnerability, and ridiculous characters. Her countless comedic character videos have racked up over 200 million views on social media. Her audience is multigenerational, creating an excuse for large groups of friends and families to spend a night out together. In an era where only 10% of all touring comedians are female, Jessica stands out as one of the strongest comedians regardless of gender.

Jessica produced FX’s Hysterical, a feature-length documentary that premiered at SXSW 2021. The film explores the changing landscape of women in stand-up comedy and features Margaret Cho, Nikki Glazer, Chelsea Handler, Fortune Feimster, and other notable comedians. Her one-hour special Talking to Myself was executive produced by Bill Burr and debuted on Comedy Central. She is a regular on This Week at the Comedy Cellar and has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The View, HBO’s, Crashing, Netflix’s, Friends Who Kill, and Kevin Can Wait.
