Join The Porcupine Theater in welcoming Brooks Wheelan as he tours the state with a brand new hour of comedy. After the success of his 2024 special Alive in Alaska—named by The New York Times as “one of the three best specials of 2024”—Brooks is back and better than ever.
If you don’t already know Brooks, chances are you’ve seen his work. He was a cast member on Saturday Night Live and has appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers, AP Bio, HBO’s Girls, Comedy Central’s The Half Hour, @Midnight, Adam Devine’s House Party, MTV’s Ridiculousness, TBS’s Conan, and Netflix’s I Think You Should Leave.
His debut comedy album, This Is Cool, Right?, hit #1 on the iTunes charts and was featured on Paste Magazine’s “10 Best Comedy Albums of 2015.” Rolling Stone named him one of the Top Acts of Bonnaroo 2014.
Brooks made an early mark in comedy when he was selected for Comedy Central’s “Top 10 Comics to Watch” at the New York Comedy Festival in 2012 and was a breakout performer at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal. He’s also performed at major festivals including SXSW, Sasquatch, Moontower, Bridgetown, and the South Beach Comedy Festival.
Brooks currently lives in Los Angeles. Don’t miss your chance to see him live at The Porcupine Theater!
