John Mulaney Bringing “Mister Whatever” Tour to Buffalo in 2026

Comedy fans in Upstate New York have something big to look forward to — John Mulaney is officially bringing his “Mister Whatever” tour to Buffalo next spring. The Emmy-winning comedian, writer, and actor will perform at Shea’s Performing Arts Center on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 7:30 p.m.

This Buffalo stop marks Mulaney’s only currently scheduled show in New York State for 2026, making it a must-see event for fans across the Empire State. Tickets are set to go on sale Friday, October 24, 2025, at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster and the Shea’s Box Office, while presale access opens on Wednesday, October 22 at 10 a.m. via go.seated.com.

At the time of writing, ticket prices have not been officially announced, but demand is already high. Fans eager to secure good seats may also want to check Vivid Seats, StubHub, and SeatGeek, where resale tickets are starting around the $100 range. Shea’s website emphasizes that the safest and most reliable way to buy tickets is through official channels like Ticketmaster or the venue box office to avoid counterfeit or overpriced listings.

John Mulaney is no stranger to Upstate New York audiences. Earlier in 2025, he performed his “Mister Whatever” show at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona and the Constellation Brands–Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center (CMAC) in Canandaigua, both of which drew enthusiastic crowds. The Buffalo date appears to be part of a new leg of the tour extending into 2026.

The “Mister Whatever” tour, first announced in April 2025, includes dozens of stops across the United States and Canada. The tour kicked off in Newark, New Jersey, and has since covered major cities, continuing into next year. The Buffalo performance adds to Mulaney’s already packed schedule, highlighting his ongoing popularity and connection with audiences who love his sharp, observational humor.

Known for his distinct comedic voice and clean, story-driven style, Mulaney has built a stellar career across television, stage, and streaming platforms. He’s best recognized for his work as a writer on “Saturday Night Live”, where he co-created the beloved character Stefon with Bill Hader, and has hosted SNL multiple times. Beyond sketch comedy, Mulaney’s stand-up specials — including “New in Town”, “Kid Gorgeous at Radio City”, and “Baby J” — have earned widespread acclaim. He also created and starred in the children’s musical special “John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch”, and more recently launched the Netflix talk show “Everybody’s Live With John Mulaney.”

With his sharp timing, relatable storytelling, and witty delivery, Mulaney remains one of the most sought-after comedians in the business today. Fans looking to catch him live in Buffalo should act quickly once ticket sales open — this one is expected to sell out fast.
