Tom Segura Tickets

Seat call for a Tom Segura stand-up night

In a theater, buy the center of the orchestra, roughly rows 5 through 15, or the first few rows of the mezzanine. Both give you a straight-on view of his face, which matters because his jokes land on a pause or a look as often as on a line. In an arena, buy the lower level facing the stage so the performer and the video screens sit in the same frame.

His current tour, as listed on his website in fall 2026, is Preposterous. Venue sizes change from city to city, so open the map on your event first.

Theater seats ranked for comedy

• Center orchestra, middle rows: first choice. Close enough for expressions, far enough back that you are not staring up at the stage lip.
• Front mezzanine or balcony: often the value pick. The rise clears the heads in front of you, and in many houses those first rows are nearer the stage than the back of the orchestra.
• Far-side orchestra and boxes: physically close, but the angle is hard. A center seat a few rows farther back is usually better.
• Rear orchestra under the balcony: acceptable for audio, weaker for seeing reactions.

Arena dates and the screens

In a large room, lower-level sections square to the stage are the strongest buy. The upper level and back balconies hear the stories fine, since stand-up depends on audio more than visuals, but you will be watching the screens for every facial beat. Side sections near the stage give a profile view and are worth skipping when a facing seat is available.

How Segura builds an hour

The name of his 2016 special, Mostly Stories, sums up the style. He prefers long, personal bits with a slow setup and a payoff that can arrive minutes later, delivered in a flat, dry voice. The material is dark, profane and often graphic, so it is no show for kids or for anyone easily offended.

Fans who know him from podcasts should expect a different mode. On stage it is a written, rehearsed set, not loose conversation. Headline shows usually start with an opener, and some comedy tours lock phones in pouches during the show; your listing will note the lineup and phone policy for your date.

Netflix hours, podcasts and a book

Netflix and podcasting built most of his audience.

• On Netflix: Completely Normal (2014), Mostly Stories (2016), Disgraceful (2018), Ball Hog (March 24, 2020), Sledgehammer (July 4, 2023) and Teacher (2025).
• On record: the albums Thrilled (2010) and White Girls with Cornrows (2012).
• In your earbuds: Your Mom's House, launched in 2010 with comedian Christina Pazsitzky, and 2 Bears, 1 Cave with his friend Bert Kreischer.
• In print and on screen: the 2022 essay collection I'd Like to Play Alone, Please, and Bad Thoughts, a 2025 Netflix sketch series he wrote, directed, produced and starred in, which earned two Emmy nominations in 2026.

Preposterous tour and ticket timing

He has put out a new Netflix hour every two to three years since 2014, and those hours are typically shaped on the road. His tour page announced new Preposterous dates with a presale starting September 30, 2026. Shows on sale appear in this page's event list.

• Presales favor fans. Artist presales usually open before the public sale, and center orchestra seats go quickly.
• Added shows open seats. A fast sellout often brings a late show or second night, sometimes with better locations.
• Weekends are tighter. Friday and Saturday draw the most buyers; weeknights and late shows tend to offer more choice.
• Podcast events are their own tickets. Live 2 Bears, 1 Cave nights with Kreischer are sold separately from his stand-up.

Reserved Seat orders include free shipping and no digital transfer fees.

Cincinnati, Lima and the early clubs

Segura was born April 16, 1979, in Cincinnati. His mother, Rosario "Charo" Lazarte, came to the US from Peru, and he grew up bilingual, spending summers in Lima. After graduating from Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, North Carolina, he started doing stand-up while working day jobs, including logging transcripts for reality TV. Early credits include Live at Gotham (2007), Comedy Central Presents (2011) and This Is Not Happening (2013). He reached the San Francisco regional finals of Last Comic Standing 2 and has performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Just For Laughs.
