Lifeview Marketing Presents: The 14th Annual United Nations of Comedy

FOR MATURE AUDIENCES.

The United Nations of Comedy Tour returns to The Paramount Theater! This tour features national comedians as seen on HBO, Comedy Central, BET, Late Night with David Letterman, Netflix, HULU, FOX, and more. The United Nations of Comedy is one of the funniest national comedy tours to visit the area and has become a highly anticipated comedy event.

The tour was founded to promote diversity through laughter and focuses on choosing the perfect blend of national comics by selecting an eclectic mix of styles. This year’s lineup includes a hysterical array of national comedians: Jordan Rock, Emma Willmann, Anthony DeVito, and Funnyman Skiba.

The Paramount Theater was chosen as the host venue due to its historical significance, convenient location, and community-driven mission. The theater’s stage has been visited by some of the top comedians and performers in the nation, and the United Nations of Comedy continues its streak.

Jordan Rock is the youngest brother of comedy icon Chris Rock, but Jordan has built his career by placing brick by brick on his own, landing recurring roles on Love Life Season 2 on HBO Max, Big Time Adolescence on Hulu, and Love on Netflix. He has become one of the hottest comics in the New York comedy club scene, admired by comic greats such as Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, and others.

Emma Willmann is a stand-up comedian, actress, and podcaster originally from Blue Hill, Maine. A comic who’s mastered chaos under control, Willmann’s vibrant presence, warmth, and unflinching honesty make her a comedian to be reckoned with. She was a part of the inaugural season of Netflix’s The Lineup, and has made memorable appearances in CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Judd Apatow’s Crashing, and The Good Fight on Paramount+. Willmann has also made multiple appearances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and is a regular at the prestigious Comedy Cellar in New York City.

Anthony DeVito is a NYC-based comedian. He’s appeared on CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert; Comedy Central Stand Up Presents: Anthony DeVito; and Comedy Central’s Adam DeVine’s House Party. He was one of the “New Faces” at the 2012 Montreal Just for Laughs Festival; has been on This American Life; AXS TV’s Gotham Comedy Live; and was the 2015 winner of Caroline’s March Madness. Also, his debut album, Dream Occupation, is available from Comedy Central Records. In addition to stand-up, he was a writer on Netflix’s The Break with Michelle Wolf, wrote for the 2018 White House Correspondents Dinner, and was a writer/regular panelist on MSG’s People Talking Sports and Other Stuff. He also has appeared on TV Land’s The Jim Gaffigan Show, HBO’s Pause with Sam Jay, and is a favorite on Sirius XM’s Bennington.

Funnyman Skiba is the exclusive host comic of the United Nations of Comedy Tour and is a BET Comic View All-Star with one of the most legendary appearances on the national network. He has also co-hosted a hit radio show with national broadcasting. This will make Skiba’s visit to Charlottesville his 15th, making him the area’s most in-demand comic. Funnyman Skiba is a DO NOT MISS comic.
