Pete Holmes: The Pete Here Now Tour

Kicking off the summer season, comedian and writer Pete Holmes returns to the Wheeler with a stand‑up career defined by years of touring, major stage appearances, and a signature blend of thoughtful humor and playful self‑awareness. Holmes has built a devoted following through live performance, balancing big ideas with the immediacy and intimacy that have made him a familiar presence on stages and screens alike.

Beyond the stage, Holmes is the creator and star of HBO’s Crashing, produced by Judd Apatow, and the host of The Pete Holmes Show on TBS, executive produced by Conan O’Brien. His work spans television, podcasting, and animation, including CBS’ How We Roll, voicing the e*trade baby, and appearances as a writer and guest performer on The Simpsons. He also hosts the long‑running You Made It Weird podcast and is the author of Comedy Sex God. Holmes has released multiple stand‑up comedy specials across HBO, Netflix, and YouTube, most recently in 2024.
