One of the most popular comics on today's circuit, it's rather hard to imagine Koy starting off in a humble Las Vegas coffee shop way back in 1994.

Maz Jobrani at Santander Performing Arts Center

Maz Jobrani

Maz Jobrani is also known as the Persian Pink Panther, a cheeky reference to his Iranian-Persian heritage. A well-tread comedian, he's performed comedy in almost every medium with roles on radio shows, TV sitcoms, talk shows, feature films, and at comedy clubs. If you recognise his face it could be pretty hard to track down where you remember him from!

Jim Breuer at Santander Performing Arts Center

Jim Breuer

Man of a thousand voices and all round comic whirlwind Jim Breuer is heading out on tour once again. While he's a cult icon for his role in stoner comedy Half Baked with Dave Chappelle, Breuer has made a conscious decision to shift his stand-up in a family friendly direction in recent years because "it's much more challenging".

Since taking the helm of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson in 2005, the show has set all-time viewer records and achieved the highest ratings since the shows inception in 1995.
