Mark Paul: The Daddy Ball Tour LIVE at San Jose Improv
Official TicketsResale Tickets
About the Performer
Mark Paul is a comedian and social media creator who built a massive following by hilariously documenting the wild, competitive, and often absurd world of youth travel baseball. Five years ago, Mark started posting comedy content about how parents treat their kids and others in youth sports — and the internet couldn’t get enough.
His relatable, observational humor about travel ball culture, overzealous sports parents, and the chaos of youth athletics has resonated with millions of parents, coaches, and players across the country. Mark turned his viral content into two successful businesses: a travel ball merchandise e-commerce store and a premium sunglasses brand worn by the pros.
Now he’s taking his comedy on the road with “The Daddy Ball Tour,” bringing his sharp, experience-driven stand-up to clubs across the country. If you’ve ever been to a youth sports game and witnessed the sideline drama firsthand, you already know exactly what Mark is talking about — and you’re going to love this show.

About the Venue
The San Jose Improv is one of the Bay Area’s most beloved stand-up comedy clubs, nestled in the heart of downtown San Jose at 62 S Second St. As part of the nationally recognized Improv comedy club chain, the San Jose Improv has been a cornerstone of Silicon Valley’s comedy scene for years, hosting both rising stars and established headliners.
The club’s intimate layout puts you close to the action — every seat in the house feels like a front-row experience. The venue offers a full bar and dining menu, with a mandatory two-item minimum per guest in the showroom. Seating is general admission and first-come, first-served (except for groups and premium booths), so plan to arrive early to grab your preferred spot.
Located in downtown San Jose, the Improv is easily accessible via public transit and is surrounded by parking garages. The cozy, club-style atmosphere makes for an unforgettable night out — whether you’re a die-hard comedy fan or just looking for a great Wednesday night out.
What to Expect
Expect a night of laugh-out-loud comedy rooted in the very real, very relatable world of youth sports parenting. Mark Paul’s “Daddy Ball Tour” is a solo stand-up show built around his firsthand experiences in the travel baseball world — the helicopter parents, the politics, the drama, and the pure comedy gold that comes with it all.
If you’ve ever coached a little league team, sat in the bleachers at a travel tournament, or watched a parent completely lose their mind over a 10-year-old’s batting average, this show is for you. Mark’s storytelling is sharp, self-aware, and deeply funny — the kind of comedy that makes you say “I know EXACTLY that person.”
This is a 21+ event, so bring your ID. The two-item minimum at the Improv means you’ll have a drink in hand while you laugh — which is the only way to properly enjoy a night of Daddy Ball comedy. No phones, no photography, no recording during the show.
