Last week (Dec. 23), Billboard published the November Boxscore report, with Paul McCartney back on top as the biggest touring act of the month. But while the biggest stars of rock, hip-hop and more packed stadiums, comedians were road warrior-ing their way to sold-out theaters and arenas. Here, we’re looking at the five biggest comedy tours of November 2025.
Earlier this year, Billboard launched its comedy hub with rundowns of the biggest touring comedians of the midyear Boxscore period (Oct. 1, 2024 – March 31, 2025) and of the months that followed. Sebastian Maniscalco, Matt Rife and Weird Al Yankovic topped those lists, but another former chart-topper bulldozes ahead atop the November recap.
This is Nate Bargetze’s fifth month at No. 1, and fourth in a row. He first dominated in May, and then returned for August, September and October. He’s grossed $13.2 million from 182,000 tickets across 13 shows. Not only is this the fourth straight month for Bargatze above $10 million, but it’s also the fourth in a row where he’s the only comic to pull eight figures.
He went back-to-back with double-headers in Seattle (Nov. 6-7 at Climate Pledge Arena), Portland, Ore. (Nov. 8-9 at Moda Center), Tampa (Nov. 13-14 at Benchmark International Arena), Charlotte, N.C. (Nov. 20-21 at Spectrum Center), and in Greenville, S.C. (both on Nov. 22 at Bon Secours Wellness Arena). The first four of those brought in over $2 million.
Keep scrolling for a detailed breakdown of the top grossing touring comedy tours of November by the numbers. This month’s round-up includes one major comic (Ricky Gervais) who sports their first appearance on the monthly ranking.
