It’s been a whopping five years since the maverick comedian, actor, and creator/host of Adult Swim’s smash hit series, The Eric Andre Show, last graced our shores. The anticipation is palpable, with previous tours selling out in a flash and extra shows needed to meet the overwhelming demand. This summer, Andre promises his most significant performances in Australia and New Zealand to date.

Witness The Eric Andre Show Live, as Eric continues to build on his colossal cult following that originated from his acclaimed, chaotic live-action-comedy television series. Premiering over a decade ago in May 2012, the show’s success catapulted Andre into the limelight, and he hasn’t looked back since.

In 2023, the irreverent comedian showcased his versatility by becoming an expert panellist on American TV shows like The Prank Panel, alongside Johnny Knoxville and Gabourey Sidibe. Adding another feather to his cap, Andre launched the hilarious podcast, Bombing with Eric Andre, where he quizzes guests, typically comedians or performers, about their worst onstage experiences, epic fails, and their most inebriated moments in front of an audience.

Andre’s radical portfolio spans live stand-up, TV appearances, films, radio, and beyond. His 2020 Netflix stand-up special, Legalize Everything, garnered widespread critical acclaim, followed by the 2021 smash hit Bad Trip, which he produced and co-wrote. Currently voicing the demon ‘Luci’ on the Netflix animated series Disenchantment, Andre has also lent his voice to various Hollywood productions, including the animated feature Trolls Band Together, Sing 2, and a hyena in Disney’s reimagining of The Lion King. In 2023, he delivered a side-splitting performance in HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones and starred in an episode of the Netflix anthology series Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.

Hilarious, subversive, and remarkably unhinged – don’t miss the one and only Eric Andre when he brings The Eric Andre Show Live Tour to Australia and New Zealand next month!
