(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- The Stress Factory Comedy Club presents Kevin Nealon on May 15-16, 2026. Kevin Nealon is a legendary force in comedy whose career spans stand-up, television, film, and digital media. David Letterman once called him "one of the funniest humans on the planet."
An Emmy-nominated writer and longtime Saturday Night Live cast member, Nealon has built a reputation as one of the sharpest observational comedians of his generation, known for his dry delivery, effortless timing, and distinctive comedic voice.
Currently touring nationwide following the release of his stand-up special Loose in the Crotch, Nealon continues to perform to sold-out audiences across the country. The special, released by 800 Pound Gorilla Media on YouTube, quickly drew nearly half a million views in its first month, capturing Nealon at his sharpest—loose, reflective, and hilariously attuned to the absurdities of everyday life after decades in comedy.
Nealon is also an executive producer, alongside his wife Susan Yeagley, of the Oscar-nominated documentary Come See Me in the Good Light (Apple Original Films), directed by Ryan White. The poignant and unexpectedly funny film premiered at Sundance and went on to become a festival favorite before its Apple TV+ release.
Nealon will perform on Friday, May 15 at 7:00pm & 9:30pm and Saturday, May 16 at 7:00pm & 9:30pm. Tickets are available for purchase online. The Stress Club Comedy Club is located at 90 Church Street in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
On screen, Nealon is beloved for his role as Doug Wilson on the critically acclaimed Showtime series Weeds, as well as his starring role on the CBS sitcom Man With a Plan. His television credits also include appearances on Curb Your Enthusiasm, Monk, Still Standing, and the animated series Glenn Martin, DDS.
Nealon’s film career includes memorable roles in some of comedy’s most iconic films, including Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, Anger Management, Just Go With It, Joe Dirt, Daddy Day Care, Grandma’s Boy, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, and Eight Crazy Nights.
He also produces and hosts the popular digital series Hiking with Kevin, where he takes fellow comedians, actors, and cultural figures on hikes for candid, often hilarious conversations in nature. The series has built a devoted following online and was recently licensed by FOX Nation.
Beyond comedy, Nealon is also an accomplished artist and the author of I Exaggerate: My Brushes with Fame, a collection of his original caricatures paired with personal essays about the people that have inspired him.
As one of the longest-running cast members in Saturday Night Live history (1986–1995), Nealon created some of the show’s most memorable characters and served as anchor of the iconic Weekend Update segment, helping shape it into one of the show’s most enduring features.
