A pair of comedians have added Tucson to their upcoming tours.
Gabriel Iglesias, aka Fluffy, is bringing his “Beyond the Fluffy” world tour to the AVA at Casino del Sol on Nov. 13.
For Iglesias, playing Tucson is like returning to the scene of a crime. One of his first road shows when he began his standup career in the late 1990s was at a club called Bugsy’s on North Oracle and West Roger roads, he recalled in a 2009 interview with the Star. He kept the poster from the show, which was the first time his name and photo appeared on a comedy poster, he said.
Tickets are $40 to $100 through casinodelsol.com
Jo Koy brought his “Just Kidding” world tour to Tucson Music Hall in September 2019 for a pair of shows. He’s back on the road with “Funny is Funny” — the 2.0 version of his world tour that was grounded midway when the pandemic struck in March 2020.
This go-around, Koy graduates from the 2,300-seat Music Hall — which he sold out for both his 2019 shows — to the almost 9,000-seat Tucson Arena on Feb. 25.
Over the past decade, Koy, who made his Tucson debut as an opener for Carlos Mencia’s 2006 “Punisher” world tour at the AVA at Casino del Sol, has played bigger venues with every stop. His first Tucson solo show was at Fox Tucson Theatre downtown in 2010.

The video shared by Pima County shows debris flowing in the CDO Wash Aug. 10 after rain carried it from the burn scar in the Catalina Mountains left by last year's Bighorn Fire.
