The iconic comedian will, according to the press release, “perform his newest stand-up routine” at the Miller High Life Theatre on Dec. 16, with tickets going on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. next Friday, Sept. 22. This will be his first show in Milwaukee since appearing at the Riverside Theater in January 2020.
