Longtime stand-up comedian and late-night television host Seth Meyers is coming to Kansas City in 2026.

The host of NBC’s “Late Night” talk show added new dates to his stand-up comedy tour, and will be at The Midland Theatre on Saturday, April 11. The tour begins Thursday, Oct. 24, in Oxford, Ohio, two days before his comedy special “Seth Meyers: Dad Man Walking,” premieres on HBO Max .

Kansas City is one of several new dates on the tour that’ll take him throughout the United States.

“Excited to announce that I’ll be bringing my standup comedy tour and all new jokes to Charlotte, Durham, Rancho Mirage, Scottsdale, St. Louis, Kansas City and Denver in the first part of 2026,” Meyers said on social media.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on AXS Friday, Oct. 10, but pre-sale access is available now with the code “SETH,” where prices range from $70.26, $96.74 and $121.72.

Born in Evanston, Illinois, 51-year-old Meyers rose to fame as a cast member and writer on NBC’s sketchy comedy show “Saturday Night Live,” joining the team in 2001. He was an anchor on the show’s Weekend Update segment from 2006 until his departure in 2013, and wrote many of the sketches, like Tina Fey’s guest-starring segments as Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin during the presidential election.

He began hosting “Late Night” in 2014 after leaving “SNL,” replacing fellow castmate Jimmy Fallon, who became the host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” which airs before Meyers’ late-night talk show. In his program, Meyers breaks down the news of the day and talks to celebrities.
