Tickets are $20 for singles and $35 for couples in advance and $25 and $40, respectively, at the door. McCormick, described by OUT Magazine as “one of the funniest LGBTQ comedians of all time,” has been performing worldwide for more than two decades.
He’s made appearances on FOX Soul, TV One, and BET. In 2018, McCormick made history as the first LGBTQ comedian to headline a Smithsonian Museum at the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
