Fast-rising comedian coming to Lexington in the spring
Atlanta-based stand-up comedian John Crist will be at the Lexington Opera House on May 22.
The Lexington show is one of 23 additions to Crist’s “Fresh Cuts Comedy Tour.” It will be the final appearance of the six-month tour.
Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. A presale will occur at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
“The Fresh Cuts Comedy Tour is unlike any tour we’ve ever done,” Crist said in a press release. “It’s been quite an experience to have been off the road for almost two years and really have time to think, create and build a stand-up show that is all new, fresh and funny.
“I recently performed at a few small venues in preparation for the tour, and fans were SO grateful to just be outside, in a social setting amongst friends. Especially with comedy, it feels like the more the world is kind of upside down, the better the comedy. There really is no better therapy than coming together for a night of laughter.”
Crist has quickly made a name for himself nationwide. He has more than four million fans on social media and one billion video views, and some of the most popular clips include “Honest Football Coach,” “Every Parent at Disney” and “Brands that need to be CANCELLED.”
Crist first gained notoriety in 2019 when he cracked the top 100 Global Tours’ list with his “Human Being Tour.” He sold 197,000 tickets across his shows.
Crist has also been featured on or in ESPN, The Today Show, HLN, US Weekly, USA Today, SiriusXM, Buzzfeed, The Huffington Post, Cracked and The Golf Channel.
Crist will also be in Paducah on Dec. 5 for the third show of the tour.
