Upcoming Tom Segura dates
Dates and live ticket listings appear here as soon as they are on sale. The guide below covers what to know before you buy.
Who Tom Segura is
Tom Segura is an American stand-up comedian, writer, actor and podcaster, born April 16, 1979, in Cincinnati, Ohio. A Tom Segura ticket buys a stand-up headline set built on long personal stories, delivered deadpan and aimed squarely at adults. His current tour, as listed on his official site in fall 2026, is called Preposterous.
His mother, Rosario "Charo" Lazarte, emigrated from Peru, and he grew up speaking Spanish and spending summers in Lima. He graduated from Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, North Carolina, and began doing stand-up soon after, working day jobs that included logging transcripts for reality television. Early credits include Live at Gotham (2007), Comedy Central Presents (2011) and the storytelling series This Is Not Happening (2013), and he was a San Francisco regional finalist on Last Comic Standing 2. He has also played the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Just For Laughs.
Specials, podcasts and other work
Segura's following grew through Netflix and through podcasting. The record, by date:
- Stand-up albums: Thrilled (2010) and White Girls with Cornrows (2012).
- Netflix specials: Completely Normal (2014), Mostly Stories (2016), Disgraceful (2018), Ball Hog (March 24, 2020), Sledgehammer (July 4, 2023) and Teacher (2025).
- Podcasts: Your Mom's House, which he started in 2010 with fellow comedian Christina Pazsitzky, and 2 Bears, 1 Cave with his close friend Bert Kreischer.
- Writing and acting: the essay collection I'd Like to Play Alone, Please (2022), and Bad Thoughts (Netflix, 2025), a sketch-style series he wrote, directed, produced and starred in, which drew two 2026 Emmy nominations.
If you know him from the podcasts, expect a different mode on stage: a written, rehearsed hour rather than open-ended conversation.
What a Tom Segura show is like
The title of his 2016 special, Mostly Stories, is a fair description of the format. Segura favors extended bits drawn from his own life over quick one-liners, often with a long setup and a payoff that lands minutes later. The material is dark, profane and frequently graphic. It is not a show for children or for anyone easily offended.
Headline comedy shows usually include an opening act before the main set; check your listing for the lineup. Because the material relies on timing and facial reactions, a seat with a clear view of the stage or the video screens matters more than it would at a concert. Some comedy tours lock phones in pouches during the show; check your event listing for the policy on your date.
Where to sit for stand-up comedy
Venue size varies by market, from theaters to larger halls, so open the map on your event before you choose. These rules apply to either:
- Theater orchestra, center: the best seats in the house for stand-up. Rows roughly 5 through 15 in the center give a full view of his face without craning up at the stage.
- Front of the first mezzanine or balcony: often the best value. The raised angle clears the heads in front of you, and in many theaters the first rows of the mezzanine are closer to the stage than the back of the orchestra.
- Far side orchestra and box seats: close but at a hard angle. Skip them if a center seat a few rows back is available.
- Arena lower level, facing the stage: the strongest choice in a big room. You see the stage and the screens together.
- Arena upper level and rear balconies: the audio carries the stories well, but you will watch the screens for every reaction.
Tour history and how tickets sell
Segura has released a new Netflix hour every two to three years since 2014, and stand-up specials are usually developed and refined on tour. His current run, Preposterous, was posted on his official tour page with newly announced dates and a presale that began September 30, 2026. Dates on sale appear in the event list on this page.
Patterns to expect when buying:
- Presales go to the fan base first. Artist presales typically run before the general on-sale, and the center orchestra goes early.
- Second shows get added. When a first show sells quickly, a late show or second night is often announced, which can open up better seats.
- Weekend nights draw the most demand. Friday and Saturday shows tend to be the most competitive, while weeknights and late shows usually offer more choice.
- Joint appearances are separate events. Live 2 Bears, 1 Cave or podcast events with Bert Kreischer are priced and sold on their own.
Every GoodSeats order includes free shipping and no digital transfer fees.
