Anthony Jeselnik -- the deadpan king of dark one-liners, the host of the Roastmasters circuit, the comedian who can drop a joke so vile the room gasps before it laughs -- is on the road heading into 2027. The Pittsburgh native and Tulane grad has been one of stand-up's most distinctive voices for two decades, and his recent Bones and All Netflix special and accompanying tour have only sharpened the legend.
The current schedule has been heavy on intimate club residencies -- multi-night runs at the Brea Improv, four-show stints at the Spokane Comedy Club, and similar smaller-room dates where Jeselnik can really test material. He has also been routing theater shows like the Comedy on State date in Madison and other mid-size rooms across the country. Check the listings below for available dates.
What makes a Jeselnik show worth showing up for in 2027? The discipline. While most stand-ups are loose and reactive, Jeselnik is the architect of the modern one-liner -- every word is chosen, every pause is engineered, and every punchline lands exactly where he wanted it to land. The signature topics (dark jokes about death, abuse, controversy, the political moment) require the precision he brings, and the live shows are where you really see the craft up close. According to coverage in the Hollywood Reporter, Bones and All doubled down on his trademark style and earned some of his strongest reviews to date.
Beyond stand-up, Jeselnik has built one of the most respected catalogs in modern comedy: the Jeselnik Offensive on Comedy Central, the brutal Roast appearances on Donald Trump and Charlie Sheen, the long-running Jeselnik & Rosenthal podcast with Gregg Rosenthal, and his three Netflix specials (Thoughts and Prayers, Fire in the Maternity Ward, and now Bones and All). According to Wikipedia, his approach to dark comedy has been credited with shaping an entire generation of stand-ups.

Born in Pittsburgh in 1978 and raised in nearby Upper Saint Clair, Anthony Jeselnik graduated from Tulane University with an English degree before moving to Los Angeles to pursue comedy. His early career included a stint as a staff writer on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in 2009, plus a writing role on the Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump -- the show that introduced his razor-sharp one-liners to the broader Roast audience.
He went on to deliver some of the most quoted set pieces in Roast history at the events for Donald Trump, Charlie Sheen, and Roseanne Barr. His stand-up specials followed: Shakespeare (2010), Caligula (2013), the Netflix specials Thoughts and Prayers (2015) and Fire in the Maternity Ward (2019), and the November 2024 release Bones and All. He also created and hosted The Jeselnik Offensive on Comedy Central, a two-season topical news show that built a cult following.
His writing style is the thing. While most stand-ups develop a long bit and then trim it, Jeselnik writes pure setup-punch one-liners -- the kind of jokes where the entire structure is built on a single word turn at the end. The setups are often built around taboo topics (death, abuse, his own family, the controversy of the day), and the punches deliver a sudden reframe that makes the room gasp before laughing. Rolling Stone has called him one of the best joke-writers of his generation.
His current touring approach favors club residencies over arena routing -- the Brea Improv, Spokane Comedy Club, and the Hollywood Improv have all been recent multi-night stops. The intimate-room approach lets him workshop material between specials and keeps the show feeling fresh tour over tour. The Dead Frog stand-up database tracks his constant routing across markets, with new dates added regularly.

Bones and All is the touring run tied to Jeselnik's November 2024 Netflix special of the same name. The special celebrated 20 years of his boundary-pushing stand-up career, and the tour has continued to play comedy clubs and theaters across North America.
Jeselnik has released five full-length specials: Shakespeare (2010), Caligula (2013), and three on Netflix -- Thoughts and Prayers (2015), Fire in the Maternity Ward (2019), and Bones and All (November 2024).
The Jeselnik Offensive was a two-season Comedy Central topical news show that ran in 2013. Jeselnik served as host and head writer, delivering monologues, panel segments with other comedians, and his trademark dark one-liners about the week's news. It built a cult following despite its short run.
A typical Jeselnik headline set runs about 60 to 75 minutes, packed with his trademark setup-punch one-liners. Club shows often feature longer sets to test material; theater dates lean into the polished, special-ready versions of bits.
The Jeselnik & Rosenthal Podcast is Anthony's long-running podcast with Gregg Rosenthal of NFL Network. The show mixes football talk, comedy news, and Jeselnik's trademark observational riffs, and has been one of the most consistently downloaded comedy podcasts since launch.
