Comedian Shane Gillis, known for his sharp and unfiltered comedic style, is set to expand his 2025-2026 comedy tour with multiple appearances across prominent venues, including an unprecedented triple performance at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in New York City. The initial shows at MSG, scheduled for January 23 and 24, 2026, sold out promptly, prompting the addition of a third performance on January 22, 2026. Ticketmaster presale for the newly added date commenced prior to public sales, which are set to begin on August 28 at 10 a.m. EDT. Fans eager to secure their spots are advised to monitor Ticketmaster and verified platforms such as Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, and StubHub for both primary and resale tickets.

Gillis's tour, which is branded "Shane Gillis Live," is already making strides as it has shattered ticketing records at major global venues including London’s O2 Arena, Dublin’s 3Arena, and Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena. With sellouts across these locations, each has witnessed the largest comedy shows in their respective histories. Further highlighting his unprecedented success, Gillis is set to perform at Notre Dame Stadium this September alongside musicians Zach Bryan and Dermot Kennedy.

In addition to his stand-up endeavors, Gillis is venturing into television with his scripted comedy series "Tires," which launched its second season to critical acclaim and high viewership in streaming rankings.
