Howie Mandel on Tour
One of the most recognizable and reliably hilarious talents in show business for four decades, Howie Mandel is a comedy icon. His love of performing shines through whether he's delighting millions of TV viewers or sharing stories with the audience members who flock to the stand-up shows he performs every year in venues all over the world.
However busy Mandel may be thanks to his duties as a judge on America's Got Talent and as the host of Deal or No Deal, performing live has been the Canadian comic's greatest love since he began building buzz in the comedy scenes of his native Toronto and adopted home of Los Angeles in the late 1970s.
Each of his live shows highlights Mandel's incomparable skills as both storyteller and improviser, expertly mixing self-deprecating jokes about his life as a celebrity, husband and dad with ever-unpredictable interactions with audience members.
Howie Mandel Background
Thanks to his self-deprecating wit and irrepressible energy, Howie Mandel continues to delight audiences and win new fans four decades into his career as a comedian, actor, writer and producer.
While comedy fans have been loyal to Mandel ever since the Canadian comic first broke out of L.A.'s comedy scene in the late ‘70s, millions of viewers know him best as a key part of two of TV's most phenomenally successful shows. Between 2005 and 2008, he was the host of the NBC game-show sensation Deal or No Deal, returning in 2018 as host and executive producer for a new edition on CNBC. In 2010, he also became one of the celebrity judges on America's Got Talent and has since become the NBC talent competition's longest-serving panelist.
Mandel's other forays into television include his six-year run on the groundbreaking medical drama St. Elsewhere, the animated series Bobby's World and the reality-TV series Howie Do It. Yet live performance remains at the core of Mandel's busy career. In 2019, he showed off his enduring skills as a storyteller and improviser in Howie Mandel Presents: Howie Mandel at the Howie Mandel Comedy Club, his first comedy special in over 20 years.
