'OMG Hi!': George Lopez bringing new comedy tour to the Pan Am

LAS CRUCES – Actor and comedian George Lopez will return to Las Cruces this November with his new “OMG Hi!” Comedy Tour at the Pan American Center.

Lopez is well-known for his “George Lopez” TV show and his appearances in such movies as “Rio” and “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” and starring in the locally produced and filmed “Walking With Herb.” He is a familiar face around Las Cruces due to his many projects and professional appearances in the city.

In early 2021, Lopez partnered up with the All Things Comedy company — founded by fellow comedians Bill Burr and Al Madrigal — to release a podcast titled “OMG Hi! With George Lopez.” Weekly episodes feature conversations between Lopez and surprise celebrity guests and listener call-ins. Guests so far have included Trevor Wallace, David Cross, Constance Marie and even his “Walking With Herb” co-stars Edward James Olmos and Kathleen Quinlan.

The comedy tour shares the same name as the podcast and has been taking Lopez to locations across the country. He appeared at El Paso’s Abraham Chavez Theatre in October 2021.

He will appear at New Mexico State University’s Pan Am Center at 7 p.m. Nov. 6. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 19 on Ticketmaster.com.

"OMG Hi!" the podcast can be found anywhere podcasts are available and the video recording of episodes can be found on All Things Comedy's YouTube channel.
