New Jersey: Jon Stewart Announces Spring Show Date
Jon Stewart is coming in hot into 2024. As we know, he is back hosting the The Daily Show on Comedy Central each Monday night. In addition, Jon Stewart is going on tour this year, and you can see him in New Jersey.
Starting next month, Stewart will hit the road along the east coast. “An Evening With Jon Stewart” kicks off on March 1 in Poughkeepsie, New York at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House. “Considered one of America’s leading social and comedic voices, Stewart has an unparalleled ability to connect with audiences from many walks of life through his acerbic wit, self-deprecating humor, and passion for doing what’s right,” Live Nation said in a press release.
The New Jersey stop for “An Evening With Jon Stewart” will be at the McCarter Theatre Center in Princeton. This is the middle date on the itinerary, with the show pulling into town on Friday, March 29th. This is just a short six miles away from where the New Jersey native grew up in Lawrenceville.
If you plan on going to see Stewart, here is something you’ll need to know. This will be a “phone-free” experience. “Upon arrival at the venue, all phones, smart watches, and accessories will be secured in individual Yondr pouches that will be opened at the end of the event,” Live Nation explained. While show attendees do remain in possession of their phones, they will need to access a designated area in the venue to use them.
What Else Is Jon Stewart Doing In 2024?
This past Monday, Stewart kicked off his weekly spot hosting the Daily Show. He is also the executive producer. “In addition to host, Stewart is also a writer, producer, director, political commentator and actor,” USA Today explained of Stewart’s return.
Stewart first took over The Daily Show 25 years ago when he succeeded Craig Kilborn. Also, 25 years ago, Stewart starred alongside Adam Sandler in the wildly popular film Big Daddy. There is no word yet on whether or not Sandler and company will pay tribute to this comedy in June when it officially reaches the anniversary.
In the meantime, tickets are now on sale for the “Evening With Jon Stewart” tour. Other markets included in this tour include, York, PA, Stamford CT, and Wilmington, DE.
