Comedian Michael Blaustein is set to perform two back-to-back shows at the Charline McCombs Empire Theatre in downtown San Antonio, with performances scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday night, both starting at 7 p.m. The dates mark the final leg of his Taste Me Tour, bringing the Washington, D.C. native’s stand-up to the historic venue at 226 N St Mary’s St.
According to the official ATG Tickets event listing, Blaustein’s stand-up clips have racked up more than 900 million views across social media platforms, and he closed out his 2025 tour year having sold more than 70,000 tickets. The San Antonio stops are billed on the same listing as the Taste Me Tour’s final leg, capping a run that has clearly built a sizable following online.
What to Expect at the Empire Theatre
Doors to the Empire Theatre’s lobby open one hour before each performance, per the venue listing. As reported by the San Antonio Current, Blaustein mixes crowd work with written jokes onstage, and the Taste Me Tour has been described as featuring high-octane audience interaction.
The Current, which classifies his style as unfiltered, also notes that Blaustein is recognized for credits including MTV’s Punk’d reboot, BattleClips, and CBS’s Person of Interest. His 2024 special is titled Silly Goose, according to the same report.
A Podcast That Keeps Running
Beyond stand-up, Blaustein co-hosts the Stiff Socks podcast with Trevor Wallace, a show the ATG listing credits with more than 70 million downloads. The Current reports the podcast launched in 2019 and continues to run, with the Current describing it as a podcast about doing weird stuff.
CultureMap San Antonio also lists the event as part of the tour’s final leg, with tickets starting at $36.99 and up, per that outlet. The Current separately reports ticket prices for the shows ranging from $25.01 to $110.19.
