Comedian John Mulaney will return to the road on a new stand-up comedy tour, John Mulaney: Mister Whatever, which will stop at Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land on November 8.

The announcement of the tour comes in the midst of Mulaney's run on his current Netflix talk show, Everybody's Live with John Mulaney, airing live weekly on Wednesdays through May 28.

The tour will travel to 31 cities across North America, starting on June 27 in Newark, New Jersey and running through at least December 18.

He also released two Emmy Award-winning comedy specials on Netflix, went back to SNL to host six times, and hosted two different Netflix talk shows.

The guest list for this year’s Comicpalooza keeps on getting bigger and bigger. It’s already been announced that Hayden Christensen – Anakin Skywalker himself – will be attending the upcoming festivities next month. Add stoner comedy royalty to the roster.

Comedy legends Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong will come to Space City and reminisce about their five-decade career. They will talk about everything, from their big-screen run in the ‘70s and ‘80s to their line of gummies that keep getting advertised on X.

Christensen won’t be the only Star Wars alum in attendance. Temuera Morrison will be around to talk about his path through the Star Wars galaxy, from portraying Jango Fett and his numerous clones in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith to his role in The Mandalorian as Boba Fett and its spinoff, The Book of Boba Fett. Ming-Na Wen rounds out the group of stars from the Star Wars universe. She currently portrays the mercenary assassin Fennec Shand in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.

For all those fans of the John Hughes teen comedies of the ‘80s, Brat Pack icon Anthony Michael Hall will be talking about his days making Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club, as well as his upcoming turn in the new season of Wednesday.

And let’s not forget about the voice actors. Scheduled to appear are James Cheek, best known for voicing San Lang/Hua Cheng in Heaven Official’s Blessing; Keith Silverstein, celebrated for his work as Hisoka in Hunter × Hunter and Kimimaro in the Naruto franchise; Spike Spencer, who has voiced hundreds of anime episodes across beloved franchises; and Daisuke Tsuji, most notably known for voicing Jin Saki in the hit game Ghost of Tsushima.

Finally, for all the music nerds, award-winning composer Grant Kirkhope will talk about some of the most recognizable video game soundtracks (GoldenEye 007, Donkey Kong) he’s done.

Comicpalooza returns to the George R. Brown Convention Center Friday, June 20 through Sunday, June 22. For more information, go to the Comicpalooza website.
