David Cross at Danforth Music Hall

David Cross

Many know him as the kooky never-nude Tobias Funke from the cult classic show Arrested Development, or as the titular character in the black comedy The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, but David Cross cultivated his humor as a young stand-up in New York in the 80s before establishing himself as a TV star.

David Sedaris at Massey Hall

David Sedaris

David Sedaris is a Grammy Award-nominated humorist, writer, comedian, bestselling author, and radio contributor.

Leon Bridges at Massey Hall

Leon Bridges

The young Texan is going on tour! The gospel and soul singer harks back to an older time, with a strong emphasis on 1960s rhythm and blues.

He also makes a point of performing in vintage clothing from the era, making his act a uniquely nostalgic experience!
