US comic heavyweight, Josh Wolf, is returning to New Zealand next year for his fourth tour of the country, bringing his highly-acclaimed new show, Touring Hard.
Wolf will perform in Auckland, Tauranga, Napier, Wellington and Christchurch, mapping a 5-date run across late January and early February 2027. It will be his first time performing in the Hawkes Bay, and in Wellington will play at one of the city’s most popular and newest venues, Meow Nui.
Renowned for his unique and relatable style of standup comedy, Wolf continues to be one of the most sought-after comics touring today. His previous tour to New Zealand and Australia in 2025, the High on Life Tour, sold-out multiple cities, with the show also packing out theatres throughout the US, UK and Europe.
Gaining widespread acclaim as a comedian and panelist on the hit show Chelsea Lately, and as a mainstay performer on After Lately, Josh has since written, produced and hosted shows like The Josh Wolf Show, Josh Wolf’s Wonderful World of Weird, and Hey Maaan, a podcast with his son, Jacob Wolf.
Jacob, an upcoming comedian in his own right, is also set to join the tour, playing the support spot as the show’s opener. The father-son duo is one of comedy’s only inter-generational collaborations, providing a unique dynamic and an authentic chemistry on-stage that fans love.
Amassing over 7 million followers across his online platforms and more than 300 million views on his YouTube channel, Wolf continues to reach all corners of the globe with his comedy. He has released four specials in the past six years, headlined sold-out theatres around the world and has a weekly residency at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club in Las Vegas, where he performs every Sunday and Monday night.
Artist presales begin tomorrow (Wednesday 14 October) at 3pm, with Events Innovated and ticket outlet presales beginning 3pm on Thursday 15 October. General public tickets go on sale at 1pm on Friday 16 October.
