Comedian John Crist Announces 30+ New Dates On Spring 2026 Tour

Comedian John Crist announced more than 30 new dates on his 2026 “John Crist Live Tour” kicking off Jan. 23 in Joliet, Illinois, with stops in New York City, Anaheim, Louisville, Fort Worth, Little Rock, Cedar Rapids and more.

“We’ve toured all over the country and been successful,” Crist said in a release. “Basically my agent said you can go wherever you want, so I chose the cities! Starting in Nashville, going to New York and LA, making a hot run through Texas, Bentonville, Arkansas (special for personal reasons) and then ending the run in my hometown Atlanta, Georgia! And all the cities in between, some we’ve never been to before!”

Tickets are available via an artist presale today through Oct. 9 at 10:00 PM local time. Local presales will take place beginning Oct. 9 at 10:00 AM local time, and tickets go on sale to the general public Oct. 10 at 10:00 AM local time. 

The announcement is another highlight in a milestone year for Crist, who has built a devoted fan base of 7.5+ million through his family-friendly comedic takes on everything from strict upbringings and church culture to group texts, sports and pop culture trends.

This announcement also follows the news of a one-night-only show at Nashville’s iconic Grand Ole Opry House, set for Jan. 25.

Earlier this year, Crist made his late-night debut on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” and released his latest comedy special, “John Crist: Emotional Support,” which has garnered more than 3.5 million views on YouTube.

Crist also hosts the comedy-meets-pop culture podcast “Net Positive with John Crist,” which has featured guests such as Matt Rife, Leanne Morgan, Dave Ramsey, Creed’s Scott Stapp, Michael W. Smith and Kirk Herbstreit.
