Desi Banks Takes His ‘Your Favorite Cousin’ Tour to Houston, Indianapolis and Beyond
Desi Banks turned social media sketches into one of the hottest tickets in stand-up, and his Your Favorite Cousin Tour keeps rolling through the fall. Banks plays five shows at the Houston Improv across November 6-8, then hits the Old National Centre in Indianapolis on November 13, Thalia Mara Hall in Jackson, Mississippi on November 20, and the Robinson Center in Little Rock on November 21.
Banks built his audience playing a whole family of characters online – the cousin everybody recognizes – and the live show brings that world to the stage with the energy of a family reunion.
He closes the run in a big room: on December 5 he joins Martin Lawrence’s bill at Gas South Arena in Duluth, Georgia, alongside Nate Jackson. From phone screens to an arena stage in the same season – that is the Desi Banks story right now.

Nate Bargatze Plays Rexburg Tomorrow, Then Settles Into Las Vegas on the Record-Breaking Big Dumb Eyes Tour
The nicest man in stand-up is having the biggest year in stand-up. Nate Bargatze’s Big Dumb Eyes World Tour – named after his New York Times bestselling book – plays the BYU-Idaho Center in Rexburg, Idaho on Friday, October 23, then settles into a Las Vegas residency run at Encore at Wynn on December 9-12, with more Vegas dates January 21-24.
The tour just played Auburn University’s Neville Arena on October 16 as part of its college swing. The numbers behind the run are staggering: more than 2 million tickets sold, and Bargatze recently set the record for the highest one-year gross by a comedy performer in history.
The Atlantic called him "The Nicest Man in Stand-Up," and his clean, deadpan, everybody’s-dad humor has turned arena crowds into believers. If Rexburg or Vegas is anywhere near you, this is the show to see this season.
