Cody Ko & Noel Miller: Tiny Meat Gang Live! Cody Ko and Noel Miller are two former software engineers who left their rock solid, bulletproof careers to become pretty decent comedians with no health insurance. They started the Tiny Meat Gang podcast late last year, and since then, are still doing the podcast (no flex). In January of 2019, Cody & Noel will finally be achieving the American dream – setting out on a self-financed comedy tour and entertaining tens of hundreds of people around the 9th smartest nation in the world. The duo believes that the key to their success lies in their ability to overcome their smallish physical stature with their 6 foot 7 inch personalities. Now they’re finally taking their athlete confidence and – again, pretty decent – senses of humor to the stage for an hour and a half of literal balls-out comedy. Come learn how you can you summon your inner tall guy. Please (it’s self-financed). Presented by AEG Presents and Olympia Theater |

Eric Andre: Legalize Everything Tour ERIC ANDRE is the creator and host of Adult Swim’s hit series “The Eric Andre Show. ”He’s also a writer and executive producer for the network’s new late night comedy “Mostly 4 Millennials,” which premiered on July 1st and airs Sundays at midnight. Andre also lends his voice to the hyena ‘Azizi’ in Disney’s reimagining of THE LION KING (July 2019), from director Jon Favreau. With an already proven standup act, Andre decided to break into the world of late night talk shows. But of course he brings his own flare to what is otherwise a very organized and predictable late night routine. Unlike his counterparts, Jimmy Fallon or Conan O’Brien, Andre’s unrelenting and constantly over the top humor puts some of his guests on “The Eric Andre Show” into situations they never thought they would end up in. Originally from Boca Raton, Florida, Andre resides in Los Angeles and tours often, selling out venues across the US, Canada, and Australia. Presented by Olympia Theater and AEG Presents |

Gregory Porter Known for his warm baritone vocals, Gregory Porter rose to acclaim in the 2010s with his earthy, cross-pollinated brand of jazz, soul, and gospel. A gifted singer of standards as well as more contemporary soul material, Porter has earned favorable comparisons to his idols Nat King Cole, Donny Hathaway, and Stevie Wonder. He announced his arrival by picking up a Grammy nomination for his 2010 debut, Water. After signing to Blue Note, he gained even wider notice for his third album, 2013's Liquid Spirit, which hit number two on the jazz charts, and won the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album. Although his original songs are his main focus, Porter often returns to his roots, such as on his 2017 tribute album Nat King Cole & Me. Paying tribute to the artist who had been most influential on his own music, Nat King Cole & Me featured Porter's versions of some of Cole's most treasured classics, including "Smile" and "Mona Lisa." The concert album One Night Only: Live at the Royal Albert Hall arrived in 2018. Presented by Olympia Theater and AEG Presents |
