Tom Segura

Tom Segura is the comedian who makes horrible things funny. Not in a shock-value way - in a "he found the exact angle that turns a dark story into the hardest laugh of the night" way. His delivery is so calm, so matter-of-fact, that by the time you realize what he just said, you're already laughing too hard to be offended.

If you've seen "Disgraceful," "Ball Hog," or "Sledgehammer" on Netflix, you know the formula. Segura tells stories about encounters with strangers, observations about his family, and opinions about everyday life that most people would keep to themselves. He says it all with a deadpan that makes every punchline hit twice as hard. The man could read you the ingredients on a cereal box and somehow make it the funniest thing you've heard all week.

The podcast empire helps. "Your Mom's House" with his wife Christina Pazsitzky has been running since 2010 and has built one of the most dedicated fan bases in comedy. If you've ever heard someone yell "try it out" or "keep it high and tight" in public, you've met a Mommies fan. The show is unhinged in the best way and has turned Segura into a comedy brand.

Live, Segura is locked in. He doesn't rush, he doesn't waste words, and his pacing is some of the best in the business. The setups are long enough to build tension, and the payoffs are sharp enough to release it all at once. If you like comedians who respect the craft of joke-building, Segura is your guy.

He tours constantly and plays theaters and arenas across the country. Check Evil Tickets for Tom Segura dates near you. Keep 'em high and tight.
