Andrew Schulz Tour 2026

Inside Andrew Schulz

Andrew Schulz is the New York stand-up who built an arena-tier touring career without a network, a streamer, or a traditional gatekeeper — and the comedy industry is still adjusting to what that means. By the time he taped Schulz Saves America and pulled it off Netflix's table to release it himself on YouTube, he had already spent a decade as a working New York club comic, an MTV2 Guy Code panelist, and a podcast operator with one of the loudest Tuesday-night megaphones in the country.

By the time Infamous landed in 2022 — again, self-released, sold as a digital pay-per-view through his own site after the streamers passed on the un-edited cut — he was selling out the Beacon and Wang Theatre in the same week. By the time Netflix finally landed him for Life in 2024, on his terms, with the special he wanted to release, the arenas were already booked.

Schulz is one of the few touring comedians of his generation whose audience knows the entire arc of how he got here, and one of the only ones who built a club-comic crowd-work reputation that survives at full arena scale. This page is the catchmovement hub for Andrew Schulz tour dates, ticket links, and city-by-city venue notes for every market where he runs an arena, theater, or comedy-club residency-style date — New York hometown nights, Toronto Scotiabank stops, London Wembley scale, Los Angeles theater runs, and the rotating Flagrant live podcast tapings that pop up alongside the stand-up legs.

The live schedule above pulls real on-sale dates; the blocks below explain what the room actually feels like and how the ticketing pattern works.

About Andrew Schulz

Andrew Schulz was born October 30, 1983 in New York City and raised on the Upper West Side of Manhattan — a detail that anchors a meaningful amount of his early stand-up material about being a white kid in a Black and Latino neighborhood, going to public school in a city that does not coddle its native comics, and the dating-and-class observational pieces that became his calling card. He started open-mics in his early twenties around the Greenwich Village club circuit — the Comedy Cellar, Carolines, Stand Up NY, the Comic Strip — and broke through nationally as a panelist and co-host on MTV2's Guy Code in the early 2010s, a format that put him in front of a Comedy Central / Viacom audience without making him explain his act.

The early YouTube era turned his bits and crowd-work clips into virality fuel: short, savage, often unsafe-for-cable runs that radiated out of the Cellar's basement and into a global audience the streamers had no way to package. Around the same window, Schulz co-launched The Brilliant Idiots with Charlamagne tha God — one of the longest-running and most influential New York comedy-and-culture podcasts on the air — and later co-created Flagrant with Akaash Singh, Mark Gagnon, and AlexxMedia, a four-handed roundtable that became one of the largest comedy podcasts on YouTube and Spotify.

The self-distribution arc is the part that genuinely changed the industry math: in 2020 he taped Schulz Saves America at the Roxie Hotel in New York and released the four-part special directly to YouTube after the streamers passed; in 2022 he sold Infamous as a digital download through his own site for $9.99 after Netflix wanted edits he refused to make. Life, taped in 2024 and released on Netflix on his terms, was the first of his major specials to land on a traditional streamer — and only after the independent route had already built the audience.

The touring arc tracked the same curve: small clubs, then theaters, then the LIFE Tour into arenas across the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, and the Middle East. The voice on stage is observational and topical without being purely political — race, class, dating, parenting, New York, the internet — and the act runs on speed, density, and the kind of crowd-work that turns a five-minute aside into the most-shared clip of the week.

Andrew Schulz tour dates

Schulz tours on an arena-and-theater pattern that has scaled up cycle over cycle. Early-career legs ran through the Helium and Comedy Works club circuit and theater rooms at the 1,500-to-3,000-seat scale — the Beacon Theatre in New York, the Wilbur in Boston, the Wiltern in Los Angeles, Massey Hall in Toronto.

The INFAMOUS Tour and the LIFE Tour pushed him into NBA-arena rooms: Madison Square Garden, Kia Forum, Scotiabank Arena, the O2 in London, plus arena-scale stops in Sydney, Melbourne, Dubai, and Riyadh on the international legs. A typical headline show runs seventy-five to ninety minutes of stand-up plus a short opener (often Akaash Singh, Mark Gagnon, or a rotating Flagrant guest), with one of the more strictly enforced no-phones policies on the touring circuit — Yondr pouches at the door, full lockup from the moment the opener takes the stage until you exit the building.

The phone policy exists because Schulz works dense crowd work and unfinished new material at almost every show; the lockup is what keeps that material off Twitter the next morning and on his terms for the special he is workshopping toward. Arena dates are heavier on the canonical set, with a tighter run-of-show and bigger lighting cues; theater dates and the smaller club residency-style stops are heavier on the crowd work and the workshop material that has not yet locked.

The international legs typically follow the North American tour on the same cycle and recycle a meaningful share of the set with regional reshapes. The live schedule above pulls directly from the on-sale feed, so once a leg is announced the city, venue, date, and ticketing link appear here automatically.

Andrew Schulz tickets

Tickets for Andrew Schulz tour dates go on sale through Ticketmaster, AXS, See Tickets, and the relevant venue box offices depending on the building. Flagrant podcast subscribers and his email list get the first window on most legs — a one-to-two-day fan presale running before the public on-sale, with a unique presale code dropped to subscribers the morning the window opens.

Arena pricing typically lands in the $60–$120 band for upper-bowl seats, $120–$250 for lower-bowl ends and the 100-level, and $250–$600 for the floor on the bigger LIFE-Tour and successor-leg dates. Theater dates run a tighter $75–$250 across the room, with the Beacon Theatre and Wang Theatre hometown shows pricing closer to the top of the band.

International dates — the O2 in London, the larger Sydney and Melbourne theater rooms, Dubai, and the Riyadh festival-style stops — price in local currency and trend slightly higher than the US equivalents once converted. Secondary inventory on StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, and TickPick is heaviest in the first week after on-sale, then settles into the run-up to the show; hometown New York dates and London arena dates hold price closest to face.

VIP, meet-and-greet, and bundled-merch packages, when offered on a given leg, clear on the presale and rarely re-list on the secondary market.

Andrew Schulz setlist

There is no fixed Andrew Schulz setlist — that is the point of the act. A typical show is built around four or five canonical bits from the current tour brand (Infamous, Life, the post-2024 expansion), interleaved with extended crowd-work runs, audience Q-and-A interrogations, and new material the night demands.

Recurring themes anyone who has followed him from the podcast or the early YouTube era will recognize: race in New York, dating and relationships, parenting and his daughter, fame and the internet, the cancel-and-comeback arc, the running 'I am the king of New York' framing, and the meta material about the streaming-versus-self-distribution economy. Because he locks phones at the door and rotates new material in across the run, no two nights inside the same tour are identical, and the bits that land on the next special are workshopped live for months before the taping.

New material typically debuts in club drop-in sets at the Cellar and Stand Up NY, graduates to the theater stops once it lands, and lands on the arena floor only after it has been tested in a few hundred sets. Fan-curated setlist sites and post-show subreddit threads are the best place to track which bits are running on the current leg.

Flagrant and the live podcast tapings

Flagrant — the four-handed roundtable Schulz hosts with Akaash Singh, Mark Gagnon, and AlexxMedia — is the second engine of the touring business and the format that broke him into a non-comedy-fan audience: athletes, musicians, tech founders, politicians, and the wider 'just chatting' YouTube ecosystem. The podcast posts weekly to YouTube and Spotify and routinely cracks the global top-comedy chart, with full video episodes that pull in a different segment of the audience than the stand-up clips.

Alongside the stand-up tours, Schulz runs live Flagrant tapings — full episodes shot in front of a paying audience, with the panel on stage in city theaters and clubs around the country and the cameras rolling on the same multicam rig as the studio cut. The live taping format is meaningfully different from the stand-up show: longer runtime (two-plus hours), heavier crowd interaction, occasional surprise guests pulled from the city the taping lands in, and a looser tone than the polished YouTube cut.

Tickets for live Flagrant tapings list separately from the stand-up dates and tend to clear fastest of any Schulz on-sale on the route. Schulz BTS pod (the behind-the-scenes feed) and The Brilliant Idiots with Charlamagne tha God round out the regular weekly output.
