FOR MATURE AUDIENCES.The United Nations of Comedy Tour returns to The Paramount Theater! This tour features national comedians as seen on HBO, Comedy Central, BET, Late Night with David Letterman, Netflix, HULU, FOX, and more. The United Nations of Comedy is one of the funniest national comedy tours to visit the area and has become a highly anticipated comedy event.
The tour was founded to promote diversity through laughter and focuses on choosing the perfect blend of national comics by selecting an eclectic mix of styles. This year’s lineup includes a hysterical array of national comedians: Jordan Rock, Paris Sashay, Anthony DeVito, and Funnyman Skiba.
The Paramount Theater was chosen as the host venue due to its historical significance, convenient location, and community-driven mission. The theater’s stage has been visited by some of the top comedians and performers in the nation, and the United Nations of Comedy continues its streak.
Thank you to this year’s event sponsors: C-Ville Weekly, Hyatt Place, and Posner Wealth Management/Davenport & Co.
