Tickets for his April 5, 2018 stop at The Broadmoor World Arena go on sale beginning Monday, November 6. Please stay tuned for more details regarding the on-sale. Dunham just released his latest standup special, Jeff Dunham: Relative Disaster, on Netflix this month. The special features Dunham along with his ill-behaved and slightly demented posse of characters for a gleeful skewering of family and politics. Dunham and his famous cohorts Walter, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Bubba J, and Peanut also consider what a new member to their already dysfunctional family could mean, putting the ‘relative’ in Relative Disaster. Dunham, a Guinness World Record holder for “Most Tickets Sold for a Stand-up Comedy Tour,” has built an entertainment empire over years of non-stop touring and innovation. With over a million YouTube subscribers amassing over a billion views, he has carved out his own unique space in the comedy world leading to record-breaking viewership with his comedy specials on Comedy Central and NBC. His 2015 standup special, Jeff Dunham: Unhinged in Hollywood, debuted on NBC Primetime in the fall and ranked as the time period’s top non-sports program on the Big 4 in every key measure. After taping Relative Disaster in Dublin, Ireland, Dunham returned to the U.S. and has continued selling out arenas across the country on his Perfectly Unbalanced Tour. And finally, adding to an amazing list of recent accomplishments, Dunham’s contribution to the world of show business and comedy will be recognized on Thursday, September 21 when he receives a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, commemorating over two decades of superstardom. Said Dunham recently, “When I moved to Los Angeles in 1988 with a car full of clothes and a couple of dummies, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would be tripping over my own star on the Walk of Fame. It’s truly fantastic and a great honor; I just hope it’s not in front of an adult store. Okay, actually, that would be hilarious.” 2017-2018’s Passively Aggressive tour stops: November 1 – Abraham Chavez Theatre in El Paso, Texas* November 2– Abraham Chavez Theatre in El Paso, Texas* November 3 – Municipal Auditorium in Lubbock, Texas* November 4 – Memorial Auditorium Wichita Falls, Texas* November 8 – McAllen PAC in McAllen, Texas* November 9 – McAllen PAC in McAllen, Texas* November 10 – Selena Auditorium in Corpus Christie, Texas* November 11 – Selena Auditorium in Corpus Christie, Texas* November 30 – Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City, Utah+ December 1 – Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City, Utah+ December 2– Reno Events in Reno, Nevada + December 3– Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara, California+ December 6– The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada* December 28 – Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana** December 29 – First Ontario Centre in Hamilton, Ontario** December 30 – Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania** December 31 – Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania** January 10 – US Cellular in Cedar Rapids, Iowa** January 11 – Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin** January 12 – Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin** January 13 – Civic Center in Peoria, Illinois** January 14 – Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio** January 24 – Budweiser Gardens in London, Ontario** January 25 – Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio** January 26– Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan** January 27 – BMO Harris Bank Center in Rockford, Illinois** January 28 – Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio** February 7– Times Union Center in Albany, New York** February 8 – Agganis Arena in Boston, Massachusetts** February 9– SNHU Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire** February 10– Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland** February 11– Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania** February 14 – PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania** February 15– Santander Arena in Reading, Pennsylvania** February 16– Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey** February 17– Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island** February 18 – Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine** February 28– Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California^ March 1– Valley View Casino in San Diego, California^ March 3– Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California^ March 7– SAP Center in San Jose, California^ March 8– Moda Center in Portland, Oregon^ March 9– Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena in Spokane, Washington^ March 10– Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington^ March 11– Abbotsford Centre in Abbotsford, British Columbia^ March 21– Bell MTS Center in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada^ March 22– Mosaic Place in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada^ March 23– Rogers Place in Edmonton, Canada^ March 24– Canalta Centre in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada^ March 25– ENMAX Centrium in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada^ April 4– 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, Colorado^ April 5– Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs, Colorado^ April 6– United Wireless Arena in Dodge City, Kansas^ April 7– CenturyLink Center Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska^ April 8– Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa^ April 18– KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York^ April 19– KFC Yum!
