What Dead-Frog Shows About Comedians and Their New Tour Dates

Dead-Frog lists comedians who have recently added tour dates, along with a count of how many shows each one has scheduled. On the site's homepage, this appears in a section called "Comedians with New Dates," where each name is paired with a number of shows — for example, Bruce Bruce (63 shows), Drew Lynch (62 shows), and Brad Williams (55 shows). The list mixes well-known headliners with rising names, so it works as a quick way to see who is touring heavily right now.

What the "Comedians with New Dates" section tells you

The section is a snapshot of recent activity, not a full tour calendar. Each entry gives you two pieces of information:

• The comedian's name — who has new dates on the site.
• A show count — how many performances are currently listed for that person.

The count is the useful part for comparison. A higher number generally means a busier touring schedule or a wider range of cities, while a lower number suggests a lighter or more limited run.

Example entries from the homepage

These numbers reflect what was listed at the time the page was captured, so they change as dates are added or pass.

How to use this to plan around a comedian

If you already know who you want to see, the show count tells you how much availability to expect:

1. Find the comedian in the "Comedians with New Dates" list.
2. Note the show count to gauge how many dates exist.
3. Move to the search tools — the homepage's "Find Comedy Near You" box lets you enter a city or ZIP and set a distance radius (10, 25, 50, 75, 100, or 200 miles) to see what's playing nearby.
4. Check "Live Comedy Tonight!" for same-day listings, which show specific times, venues, and lineups (for example, a Comedy Cellar show in New York, NY, or Carrot Top at the Luxor in Las Vegas, NV).

The show count alone won't tell you whether a comedian is coming to your city — you still need the location search to confirm that.

Other ways the site surfaces comedians

Beyond new dates, Dead-Frog organizes comedians through a few other features:

• Comedy By City — show counts for major markets, such as New York (1318 shows), Las Vegas (1289 shows), Los Angeles (1063 shows), Austin (695 shows), and Chicago (611 shows). This helps you judge how much comedy is available in a given area.
• Who's Funnier? — a voting game where you pick between two comedians. The site uses results to rank comedians; its homepage lists a top five of Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Dave Attell, Steven Wright, and Dave Chappelle, and points to a longer "25 Funniest Comedians Ever" list.
• Comedy Database — a browsable record of comedians and related information.

What this section does not do

The "Comedians with New Dates" list is a starting point, not a booking tool. It does not show ticket prices, seat availability, or direct purchase links on the homepage, and the show counts are not a guarantee that dates are still open. To act on a listing, use the city or ZIP search and the "Live Comedy Tonight!" feed to find specific shows, then follow through with the venue or ticketing source for that event.
