UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Two-time Emmy and WGA award-winning writer, actor, and comedian John Mulaney announced he will be going back on tour with a new hour of stand up comedy including a show at Penn State’s Bryce Jordan Center on Sunday, Dec 3. This will be Mulaney's second visit to the Bryce Jordan Center — his first was in 2022 when he performed on Sept. 25 as part of his “From Scratch” tour.
Tickets will be available starting at 10 a.m. on Sept. 29 on Ticketmaster.com.
Mulaney can be seen in his latest Netflix stand up special, "Baby J." Released in April 2023, Mulaney's special converts his personal turmoil into comedic brilliance, which earned Mulaney 2023 Emmy nominations in Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) and Outstanding Writing For A Variety Special. On tour, he has sold out massive venues around North America from Madison Square Garden multiple times to the Hollywood Bowl. His 2023 tour dates have included shows across the U.S., Europe and Australia.
In 2018, Mulaney traveled the United States with the sold out Kid Gorgeous tour, which was later released as a Netflix stand-up special and won the Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Variety Special. In 2015, he released "The Comeback Kid," also a Netflix original, which the AV Club called the “best hour of his career.” In 2012, his Comedy Central special "New In Town" had Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly hailing him as “one of the best stand-up comics alive.”
Mulaney has been invited to host Saturday Night Live five times. He began writing for SNL in 2008 and created memorable characters such as ‘Stefon’ with Bill Hader and appeared as a “Weekend Update” correspondent. He has written for IFC’s "Documentary Now!" and Netflix’s "Big Mouth," on which he voices the character of Andrew. In December 2019, the critically acclaimed and Emmy nominated musical variety special John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch debuted on Netflix.
He’s also starred on Broadway in the runaway hit written and performed alongside Nick Kroll in "Oh, Hello On Broadway." The duo has since release a Netflix special of the same name, as well as "Oh, Hello: The P’dcast," based off their characters Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland.
