Comedian John Mulaney Announces New Outdoor Show In Minnesota

Known for his sharp observational humor and polite, hip suit-and-tie persona, comedian John Mulaney has built a dedicated following through his relatable storytelling and wit.

His rise to fame was characterized by a transition from a behind-the-scenes comedy writer on Saturday Night Live to a celebrated stand-up comedian, including a series of acclaimed Netflix specials and live shows that consistently sell out.

Recently, Mulaney postponed his three-night stand-up comedy engagement at The Armory in downtown Minneapolis, originally scheduled for January 9 through January 11, due to safety concerns following a fatal shooting by a federal agent in the city.

The Armory shows scheduled for January have now been rescheduled for April 10 through April 12, and tickets for the previously scheduled shows will be honored on the new dates.

However, if you didn't get tickets for his appearances at the Armory, or can't make the new dates, you now have another chance to see him this year in Minnesota.

John Mulaney Announces New Summer Show In Minnesota

The Ledge Amphitheater in Waite Park has announced that John Mulaney will be performing there on Saturday, August 22, 2026. Waite Park is a suburb of St. Cloud, Minnesota, approximately 70 miles northwest of the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

The Ledge Amphitheater is a cool outdoor venue that sits between two quarries in Waite Park, with a maximum capacity of about 6,000 guests.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 AM on Friday, February 20, but there is an online-only venue presale that starts at 10 AM on Wednesday, February 18.

To take advantage of the presale, you'll need to first sign up for the amphitheater newsletter, and then you'll receive the presale code.

Parking for the show opens at 5:30 PM, then doors open at 6:30, and the show starts at 8:00 PM. There will be another entertainer added to the show, but for now, promoters are only teasing a "Very Special Guest."
