Ha! 13 gut-busting comedy shows you really should see in Jacksonville in 2022

Lots of laughs are coming to Northeast Florida in the months ahead, with Kevin Hart, Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Gaffigan and the Smothers Brothers adding shows to an already-crowded comedy calendar.

Here are a baker's dozen of big comedy shows heading our way.

Anjelah Johnson-Reyes

7 p.m. Sunday, June 26, at the Florida Theatre. $39.75-$59.75. Standup comic/movie star/"MadTV" alum brings her Who Do I Think I Am Tour to Jacksonville.

Celeste Barber

7 p.m. Wednesday, July 13, at the Times-Union Center. $51.59-$140. Barber, a huge star in her native Australia, is hoping to break big in America on her Fine, Thanks Tour.

Malcolm Hall

8 p.m. Saturday, July 23, at the Thrasher-Horne Center Studio Theater in Orange Park. $30-$50. The Middleburg High grad returns for a hometown show that will be recorded for a live album.

Darrell Hammond

Aug. 4-6 at the Comedy Zone. $25-$35. "Saturday Night Live" veteran and native Floridian brings his act to an intimate club setting.

Randy Rainbow

8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27, at the Florida Theatre. $35-$75. There aren't a lot of musical parody comedy artists out there, because it's hard to do right. Rainbow does it right. This show was twice postponed by the pandemic.

Jim Gaffigan

7 p.m. Sept. 8-10 at the Florida Theatre. $39.75-$99.75. Gaffigan is a best-selling author, an Emmy winner and one of the hardest touring comics in the business. He sold out the first two shows in Jacksonville, so a third was added.

Jerry Seinfeld

7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, at the Times-Union Center. Ticket prices unavailable. Is it possible that it's been 24 years since "Seinfeld" went off the air? Jerry has pretty much been on the road since.

Weird Al Yankovic

7:30 p.m. Oct. 17, at the Thrasher-Horne Center. $39-$329. Is he a musician? Is he a comedian? Yes to both.

Jo Koy

8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5, at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. $40-$70. Koy played at the Times-Union Center in 2021, one of Jacksonville's first post-pandemic shows. He's moved up to the arena this year.

Bill Burr

8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18, at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. $51.59-$310. He's been in "Breaking Bad" and "The Mandalorian," hosts a weekly podcast and has done a half-dozen TV comedy specials.

Kevin Hart

7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13, at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. $37-$87. Not many comics sell out arenas these days, but Hart does it routinely. Fans at his Jacksonville show will have to put their cell phones in a Yondr bag that makes them inoperable during the show.

Paul Reiser

8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall. $45.50-$63.50. From "Mad About You" to "Aliens" to "Stranger Things," Reiser has been in the public eye for decades.

The Smothers Brothers

7 p.m. Thursday, March 23, at the Florida Theatre. $45-$69.50. Dick and Tommy Smothers earned big respect in the comedy world by thumbing their noses at TV critics. They'll share stories, answer questions and show clips of their groundbreaking show.
