Paula Poundstone has dominated the comedy scene for years. With minimal props if any at all, her zippy wit and keen eye for improvised comedic gold, she can keep people hanging on her words and her punchlines for hours. Roasting the roast-worthy with the best of them, Poundstone leaves those who witness her brilliance in stitches and pulled muscles from all that ribbing, winking, and nudging.

Katt Williams has no qualms about making fun of the most serious, or off-the-table subjects many of us are afraid to bring up. No topic is too controversial for this comedian. His signature style will be present and accounted for as well as his wild commentary of theories we might not buy into but we sure can make fun of. This tour, called the Conspiracy Theory tour, is just that-a summary of taboos turned tickling and titillating when seen through Katt Williams' humor filter. Do not miss Katt Williams and his contemporary parody of everything on The Conspiracy Theory Tour at the Verizon Theater this spring.

The Queen of Mean is coming to Dallas and she will have no mercy! This New Yorker doesn't care if you're an A-lister or a regular Joe in the audience, she will make you laugh and cry at the same time. Ladies and gents will witness the Majestic Theater fill with the roar of guffaws, gasps, and grunts at the remarks one is not sure whether they are allowed to chuckle at. No worries, Lisa Lampanelli will challenge you not to at the Majestic Theater.
