Widely known and celebrated for his relatability and situational humor, Matt Mathews discusses a variety of topics and personal experiences in his stand-up, including his daily life of living on a farm, his career as a boudoir photographer, relationships and more. The comedian will also bring his ever-popular “Confessions with Matt” video series to the live stage, where he provides a real-time comedic take on audience members who voluntarily spill their deepest, darkest secrets.

On the heels of the announcement Mathews adds, “Growing up a broke, gay kid from the south I always dreamed of being a performer, but let’s be real, those big dreams don’t typically come true. Thankfully, I decided to take the risk and bet on myself as a comedian. Never in my life did I imagine I would then sign an incredible deal with Live Nation for a second headlining tour. I couldn't do this without the incredible support of the fans and I’m so excited, honored and humbled that so many people believe in me. I can’t wait to be back on that stage! Boujee on Budget is going to be wild.”

In a short amount of time, Mathews has skyrocketed into the social media stratosphere through his hilariously raw social posts, side-splitting short-form videos and stand-up clips – earning him over 4.8 million followers on TikTok and over 2 million followers on Instagram. Mathews recently wrapped his debut headlining tour, When That Thang Get Ta Thang’n and sold-out 100 dates and 150,000 tickets across the country.

Mathews recently taped his first stand-up special at the Alabama Theatre in Birmingham, Alabama that will be announced soon. On September 22, Mathews will premiere his new six-episode YouTube series, Doin’ the Most With Matt Mathews as the cameras follow him around as he takes on new challenges from ballet class to bartending.

Tacarra Williams, also known as The Beautiful Beast, is a comedian and host of the new CW show "Totally Funny Kids" and currently opening for Katt Williams on his Dark Matter Tour.

As the third oldest of eight siblings, her comedy revolves around family humor – voicing what people think but are too afraid to express. Williams champions women's empowerment in her routines.

Williams has opened for several comedy greats, including Tony Rock, DeRay Davis and Bill Bellamy, and was a runner-up on NBC's “Bring the Funny.” Her appearance on Kevin Hart's 30-minute special “The Next Level” on Comedy Central solidified her growing presence in the comedy scene.

Bold and unabashed, Williams is a force!

Mike Paramore is the guy you fight to sit next to in a movie theatre, on a long car ride, or during a boring lecture. His natural ability to infuse everyday situations with energetic, uplifting humor, combined with a natural ability to put you at ease is key to his personal brand of comedy.

He was also featured on AXTV's Live at Gotham in NYC, as well as a featured comedian on FOX's hit show "Laughs".

THEO VON grew up in the stray animal belt of southern Louisiana. He was a child there and became an adult slowly there.

He can be seen and heard weekly on his widely popular podcasts that garner millions of listens/views a month THIS PAST WEEKEND, and KING AND THE STING.

Theo's new comedy special REGULAR PEOPLE was filmed at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN and is now streaming on Netflix.

In the Spring of 2020 Theo completed his two year DARK ARTS TOUR, which took him across America, Australia, and Europe, and another country. He's currently on the road with his RETURN OF THE RAT TOUR.

If you want to know how Theo is doing he is probably doing the best he can; which varies.

A returning Northwest Arkansas favorite, David Sedaris has charmed audiences with his sometimes neurotic and seemingly mundane, yet profound storytelling for more than 25 years. Beloved for his personal essays, books, short stories and NPR segments, the three-time Grammy Award® nominee’s material isn’t always what you would expect.

His anecdotes are riddled with strange addictions, unbelievable job experiences and his eccentric family, but it’s his droll and conversational style that makes him one of the greatest humorists writing today.
