Gen X Takeover Comedy Tour LIVE at Rialto Theatre-Tucson

About the Gen X Takeover Comedy Tour

The Gen X Takeover Comedy Tour is a celebration of the generation that grew up on Saturday morning cartoons, mixtapes, and dial-up internet. This touring comedy show brings together some of the funniest voices from Generation X for a night of laughs that will resonate deeply with anyone who came of age in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s.

The tour features a rotating lineup of seasoned stand-up comedians who mine the rich comedic territory of Gen X nostalgia — from pop culture references to the unique experience of being the “forgotten generation” sandwiched between Boomers and Millennials. Expect sharp, relatable humor delivered by performers who truly lived it.

With a growing national following and sold-out shows across the country, the Gen X Takeover Comedy Tour has become a must-see event for comedy fans who want to laugh at the absurdity of growing up analog in a digital world.
