Cedric the Entertainer: Live from the Ville (Sept. 16) Comedy icon Cedric the Entertainer brings the laughs to Nashville, taking hilarious aim at the aggressive lyrics of today’s rap artists, raising kids in the Snapchat generation, and Obama’s legacy.

Russell Peters: Almost Famous (Oct. 7) Russell Peters is back and as fearless as ever in his newest comedy special, Almost Famous. In front of a sold-out audience in Toronto, Canada, Peters makes a triumphant return focusing on his two favorite subjects: family and race. Joe Rogan: Triggered (Oct. 21) Joe Rogan takes to the stage to unleash his inquisitive and intense comedic style at the historic Fillmore in San Francisco where he explores everything from raising kids and Santa Claus to pot gummies and talking to dolphins. Dana Carvey: Straight White Male, 60 (Nov. 4) Emmy Award-winning comedian and SNL star Dana Carvey makes quite the impression with his distinctive brand of comedy in his new, outrageously funny stand-up special filmed at the The Wilbur Theatre in Boston.
