Comedian John Crist is set to take the stage at Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas for a single night on March 12, 2027, at 8 p.m., with tickets for the show going on sale this Friday. The appearance adds Las Vegas to a rapidly growing list of stops on Crist's tour, which organizers say is nearly sold out.
Tickets for the Las Vegas date go on sale Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, at 10 a.m. Pacific through Ticketmaster and the John Crist Comedy Tour website, according to FOX5 Vegas. Organizers described the Encore Theater show as clean, sharp, observational humor, the station reported, fitting the brand Crist has built across his online platforms and live performances.
A Growing Online Following
Crist has more than 10 million followers and more than 2 billion video views online, the station's report notes. He's also the creator behind the viral church mockumentary Springfield First and the host of the Net Positive podcast, which has featured guests including Matt Rife, Sadie Robertson Huff and Tim Tebow, per the same account.
Those figures are echoed and expanded upon by Wynn Las Vegas, which notes that Crist's special, John Crist: Emotional Support, has surpassed 4.3 million views on YouTube alone, while the Springfield First mockumentary series has generated nearly 26 million views. The venue also states that Net Positive with John Crist consistently ranks among Apple's Top 75 comedy podcasts.
Tour Expansion Brings 45 New Dates
Crist, described as a social media star, announced 45 new dates on his nearly sold-out tour, according to officials cited in the FOX5 Vegas report. The expansion isn't limited to Las Vegas — Crist will also come to the RiverPark Center in Owensboro, Kentucky, on Thursday, June 3, 2027, according to 14 News.
Tickets for the Owensboro show are scheduled to go on sale the same day as the Las Vegas tickets, Nov. 13 at 10 a.m., through Ticketmaster and the RiverPark Center Box Office, 14 News reports. The overlapping on-sale times suggest a coordinated rollout across multiple markets as the tour continues to add stops.
Encore Theater's Busy Comedy Calendar
Crist's one-night engagement joins a packed entertainment schedule at Encore Theater. Wynn Las Vegas also lists a five-show Nate Bargatze engagement at the venue running Dec. 9–12 and Jan. 21–24, though the venue's listing does not specify which years those dates fall in.
For now, fans hoping to catch Crist's blend of observational comedy in person have a narrow window to grab seats before the March 12 show, with tickets available through both Ticketmaster and the John Crist Comedy Tour website starting Friday morning.
