The Clown Prince of Pop Parody brings his signature wit, whimsy and record-breaking tour to Auburn this fall.

“Weird” Al Yankovic

“Weird Al” Yankovic is the best-selling comedy recording artist of all time. A five-time Grammy Award winner, he is best known for parodying some of the biggest names in music over the past four decades, including Madonna, Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, Queen, U2 and Lady Gaga—all with the artists’ approval. His many hits include “Amish Paradise,” “Eat It,” “Like a Surgeon,” “Smells Like Nirvana,” “Word Crimes” and the platinum-selling “White & Nerdy.” His most recent album, “Mandatory Fun,” became the first comedy album in history to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Yankovic’s live shows have entertained generations of audiences around the world, with appearances at iconic venues including Radio City Music Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Carnegie Hall, Wolf Trap, the Kennedy Center and Madison Square Garden. In 2022, he produced and co-wrote the Emmy Award-winning biopic “WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story,” starring Daniel Radcliffe in the title role.

Following the tremendous success of his 2025 tour, Yankovic returns to the road in 2026 for the next chapter of his record-breaking “Bigger & Weirder Tour.”

During its 2025 run, the tour entertained more than 500,000 fans across 75 performances in 67 cities and sold out iconic venues including Madison Square Garden, the Kia Forum and Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

In 2026, Yankovic is going even bigger, bringing the tour to 90 cities across North America—including Auburn, Alabama—with special guest Puddles Pity Party.

Special guest Puddles Pity Party

A veritable “Pagliacci by way of Pee-Wee Herman and David Lynch” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution), Puddles Pity Party blends melancholy and absurdity with an operatic voice praised by the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Rolling Stone and others. His performances have earned admiration from Jack Black, Michael McKean, Drew Carey, Nick Offerman, John C. Reilly and Paul Reubens.

In 2025, Puddles recorded a new album, toured the United Kingdom, appeared at festivals and joined “Weird Al” Yankovic for 74 dates on the “Bigger & Weirder Tour,” including performances at Madison Square Garden, Red Rocks Amphitheatre and the Kia Forum.

His credits include collaborations with Eric Idle, appearances on “America’s Got Talent,” “AGT: The Champions” and “The Conners,” and a John Lewis holiday advertisement featuring his cover of “All the Small Things.” In 2024, he toured with Primus and joined the band for a rendition of “Holy Diver.”
