The tour launches in North America on August 8 in Brooklyn and hits over 30 cities before wrapping on New Year’s Eve in Buffalo.
Next month, rising New York comedian Lucas Zelnick (Comedy Central, Netflix is a Joke) sets out on a 30+ city stand-up tour as headliner of the first-ever Java Monster Highly-Laffeinated Comedy Tour. The tour launches in North America on August 8 in Brooklyn and hits over 30 cities before wrapping on New Year’s Eve in Buffalo, with multi-night show runs scheduled in Washington, DC, Dallas, Atlanta, and Boston.
After earning an MBA from Stanford, Lucas put the degree in his backpocket while hitting stages in his hometown of NYC to pursue comedy. Onstage, his conversational stand-up challenges his cushy Manhattan upbringing with punch-heavy material, while his quick-witted crowdwork and deft maneuvering with hecklers in outtakes from his sets exploded online gaining over 100M views and 700K followers on socials. Lucas has earned a large fanbase as a touring comedian selling out headlining shows and appearing at festivals including Netflx is a Joke, SF Sketchfest, New York Comedy Festival, and Moontower. He has also taped sets for Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring and Don't Tell Comedy and was guest on Amazon Prime Video’s Sports Talk. Lucas caps off a monster 2024 emphatically as Highly-Laffeinated’s debut headliner, launching their new comedy series featuring the biggest new names in comedy.
“Couldn’t be more excited about partnering with Java Monster to debut the Highly Laffeinated Tour. Their tasty drinks will be a perfect combination with my tasteless comedy. Get your tickets before they sell out!”, shares Lucas.
