Stockton comedy fans are in for a treat: John Crist, one of the fastest-rising names in stand-up, is bringing his national live tour to the Bob Hope Theatre on Friday, April 10, 2026.
Crist has quickly become a household name thanks to his sharp, clean humor and viral sketches. With over 1 billion video views, 7.9 million social media followers, and a long list of sold-out shows nationwide, he has earned recognition as one of Pollstar’s Top 10 Global Touring Comedians.
From Viral Videos to National Stage
Fans know Crist for his hilarious takes on everything from growing up Christian in the ’90s to the everyday chaos of family group texts. His most recent comedy special, John Crist: Emotional Support, released in February 2025, has already drawn more than 2 million full views and 20 million social media clips across platforms.
Previous specials like Would Like to Release a Statement (2023) and What Are We Doing? (2022) are still racking up hundreds of millions of views and can be streamed on YouTube and Hulu. He also hosts the hit Net Positive Podcast, where guests like Matt Rife, Leanne Morgan, and Dave Ramsey join him for lively conversations.
