The comedian recently wrapped a 28-city international tour that set all-time ticket sales records at six different arenas, according to a release. He first rose to prominence in 2021 when he released a self-funded comedy special, “Shane Gillis: Live in Austin.”

Gillis has since released a second special on Netflix, starred in the Netflix series “Tires” and hosted the late-night comedy show Saturday Night Live, among other accomplishments.
