From a press release:

Today, one of the biggest touring comics in the country, Tom Segura, announced the first leg of his new global stand-up comedy tour, Come Together, which includes a stop at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, June 12, 2024 at 7:30 p.m.

His previous tour, I’m Coming Everywhere, sold out venues across the world with over 300 shows. The comedian, actor, writer, and podcast host is bringing his highly anticipated new hour of comedy to over 40 cities on this next run of shows, recommended for ages 16+.

“This tour is bigger and blacker than anything I’ve ever done, but that name has already been used, but Come Together gets the point across. Let’s all come together for a night. One way or another, we’re going to make memories on this one,” Segura said.

Tickets for Mohegan Sun Arena (255 Highland Park Blvd., Wilkes-Barre Twp.), which start at $32.50, will be available via pre-sale this Wednesday, Nov. 15 at 10 a.m. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, Nov. 17 at 10 a.m. exclusively at axs.com. More information can be found at tomsegura.com.

Segura is currently one of the top-selling touring acts in the comedy business, having sold hundreds of thousands of tickets on multiple international tours. He is best known for his Netflix specials “Ball Hog” (2020), “Disgraceful” (2018), “Mostly Stories” (2016), and “Completely Normal” (2014). His fifth Netflix special, “Sledgehammer,” was released on July 4, 2023 and debuted at No. 1 on the streamer.

In July of 2022, Segura released his New York Times Bestselling book “I’d Like to Play Alone, Please” to wide praise, with Forbes calling it “laugh out loud funny.” Paste Magazine described him as, “having a natural and capable storytelling ability, one that lifts his narratives out of average anecdote fare and plants them firmly in hilarious ground.”

Your Mom’s House Studios is home to his hit podcasts “Your Mom’s House,” which he co-hosts with his wife, comedian Christina Pazsitzky; “2 Bears, 1 Cave,” which he co-hosts with Bert Kreischer; and many more podcasts he produces that draw millions of listeners each week. Additionally, YMH Studios was one of the first networks to create wildly successful livestream podcast events as an outcome of the pandemic.

As an actor, Segura can be seen in the STX film “Countdown” with Elizabeth Lail, “Instant Family” with Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne, “The Opening Act,” and “Flinch.” His television credits include “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” “Conan,” “Workaholics,” “Happy Endings,” “The Late Late Show,” “Comedy Central Presents,” “Mash Up,” and “How to Be a Grown Up.”

Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, the 44-year-old has an increasing social media following on Instagram and Twitter. When he isn’t performing on stage or recording a podcast, he’s watching college football or waiting for college football to come back.
