John Mulaney to Perform at Wrigley Field in Historic Comedy Event
Acclaimed stand-up artist, John Mulaney, stands poised to return to his roots, planning a much-awaited performance at Wrigley Field in Chicago next summer. Wrigley Field, renowned for its baseball history, will play host to the Emmy-award winner, himself a Chicagoan, for his current tour titled ‘John Mulaney: Mister Whatever’. The event is scheduled to unfold on a beautiful Saturday, July 11, 2026. With this tour, Mulaney will usher in a new era at the ballpark, as he becomes the inaugural comedian to grace its stage with a standup act.
The news of Mulaney’s performance at Wrigley Field roared across the airwaves during the 7th inning of a game between the Cubs and the Mets. Mulaney, showcasing his appeal to the crowd, chose this event to share the exciting news with his fans. He made his announcement after delivering a spirited rendition of the classic ‘Take Me Out To The Ballgame’.
Exclusively kicking off in 2025, the ‘John Mulaney: Mister Whatever’ tour took the country by storm, selling out in cities from coast to coast. This Wrigley Field event injects new life into the ongoing tour, taking it to even greater heights in 2026. Mulaney’s ability to captivate diverse audiences around the nation has solidified his place in today’s comedy scene.
Before embarking on this successful voyage, Mulaney had toured the nation with his highly-rated ‘From Scratch’ tour. The tour garnered widespread applause and appreciation, later evolving into a widely viewed Netflix special named ‘Baby J’ in 2023. This progression highlights Mulaney’s ability to adapt and evolve his standup into different media formats, further spreading his comedic influence.
Supplementing his standup performances, Mulaney has marked a triumphant return to the Netflix platform with another venture. Earlier this year, he, once again, won over audiences with the second season of his talk show titled ‘Everybody’s in L.A’. This demonstrates Mulaney’s diverse talent, contributing to various genres of comedy.
‘Everybody’s Live’, a derivative of ‘John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in LA’, is the latest extension of Mulaney’s comedic endeavors on Netflix. This series launched last May and spanned six days during the popular ‘Netflix Is a Joke Festival’. As a result of his diverse portfolio, Mulaney continues to carve out a significant space for himself in the world of comedy entertainment.
