In what is becoming a summer tradition beloved by comedy fans all over the world, Live Nation and Funny Or Die announced the return of the world's most epic comedy tour for the third consecutive year.

Both performers have been especially busy of late. Aziz Ansari sold out two shows at Madison Square Garden on his most recent tour, and his special, Live From Madison Square Garden, premiered on Netflix to rave reviews. Additionally, Aziz just released his book titled Modern Romance which debuted at #2 on the New York Times best seller list. Amy Schumer is the creator, star, writer and executive producer of the Peabody Award winning and Emmy nominated Comedy Central show, Inside Amy Schumer for which she won a Critics Choice TV Award for “Best Actress in a Comedy Series.” She is the star and writer of the upcoming Universal film, Trainwreck. Schumer is also set to headline her first HBO comedy special that will be directed by Chris Rock and debut later this year.

Joining Ansari and Schumer on the Oddball stage are a cast of additional performers who are household names to comedy fans, including Anthony Jeselnik, Bridget Everett, Jay Pharoah, Jeff Ross, Nick Kroll and Rachel Feinstein.

The tour will hit 18 cities in total, kicking off on Friday, Aug. 28 at Kansas City's Starlight Theatre, and culminates with a show at the Gexa Energy Pavilion in Dallas on Sunday, Oct. 18. Local lineup varies by city.

“Oddball 2015 is going to go down as one of the most incredible slate of comedy talent ever amassed for a national concert tour,” said Geof Wills, President of Live Nation Comedy. “We are thrilled that Aziz and Amy have agreed to anchor what is going to be an amazing night of entertainment for comedy fans.”

Dick Glover, CEO of Funny or Die commented: “The Oddball Festival has been one of Funny or Die's most successful brand extensions so being able to crank up the midway for a third time is very exciting.  With such an incredible line-up of comedians joining this year's tour, it clearly will be the best Oddball yet.  We are so thrilled to take it back on the road.”

Funny Or Die Presents Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival 2015 have teamed up for the third straight year with REDD'S® Apple Ale, who this year are upping their involvement by sponsoring Oddball's hugely popular second stage, renamed REDD'S® Apple Ale Festival Stage. The stage will be hosted by Big Jay Oakerson and will highlight local and emerging comedic talent, including Stu McCallister, Dan Currie, Heather Jay and Ron Taylor at DTE. And for the first time, Southern Comfort has joined Oddball and will be offering VIP contest experiences, an engaging interactive lounge and a signature Oddball cocktail at each festival stop.
