DES MOINES — Acclaimed comedian Taylor Tomlinson has announced the first leg of her upcoming stand-up tour, “Save Me,” with shows across the U.S. this fall and next spring. It will be some of her most personal material to date as she deconstructs her faith, explores her sexuality and decides whether having children is worth it.

Tickets go on sale in advance from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on July 25, followed by general sale on July 26 at 10 a.m. Tickets are available at DMPA.org.

Tomlinson is coming off headlining the seventh highest-grossing comedy tour of 2023, notably the only woman to crack the Top 10. She has released three hour-long specials for Netflix: Quarter-Life Crisis (2020), Look At You (2022) and Have It All (2024), the latter of which debuted at #1. Tomlinson is notably the only female network late-night host and the youngest by two decades, following the outrageously funny debut of CBS’s After Midnight, which currently airs weekdays at 12:37pm ET/PT.

Tomlinson is a rare talent who achieved mass popularity at a young age. She continues to receive praise from fans and critics alike, with Rolling Stone praising her for her “comedy triumph” and CNN hailing her “the Taylor Tomlinson era.” Variety recently honored her with the Creative Impact in Comedy Award, which follows her inclusion in their “10 Comics to Watch” and “Comedy Impact Report.” She has also been included in Forbes 30 Under 30 and TIME100 Next, in addition to being named one of the “100 Most Powerful Women in Hollywood” by The Hollywood Reporter.

The Des Moines Civic Center welcomes Taylor Tomlinson on October 11th and 12th. Get tickets at DMPA.org.
