UNCASVILLE, CT (February 26, 2018) – Record-breaking, global comedy superstar, Jeff Dunham is bringing his cast of characters on the road now through spring 2018, as America’s favorite ventriloquist tours North America on his 60-city Passively Aggressive tour. The tour makes a stop at Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday, July 21st at 8:00pm.

Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning on Saturday, March 3rd, subject to availability.
Dunham released his latest standup special, Jeff Dunham: Relative Disaster, on Netflix in September 2017. The special features Dunham along with his ill-behaved and slightly demented posse of characters for a gleeful skewering of family and politics. Dunham and his famous cohorts Walter, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Bubba J and Peanut also consider what a new member to their already dysfunctional family could mean, putting the ‘relative’ in Relative Disaster.
Dunham, a Guinness World Record holder for “Most Tickets Sold for a Stand-up Comedy Tour,” has built an entertainment empire over years of non-stop touring and innovation. With over a million YouTube subscribers amassing over a billion views, he has carved out his own unique space in the comedy world leading to record-breaking viewership with his comedy specials on Comedy Central and NBC. His 2015 standup special, Jeff Dunham: Unhinged in Hollywood, debuted on NBC Primetime in the fall and ranked as the time period’s top non-sports program on the Big 4 in every key measure.
After taping Relative Disaster in Dublin, Ireland, Dunham returned to the U.S. and has continued selling out arenas across the country on his Perfectly Unbalanced Tour.
Finally, adding to an amazing list of recent accomplishments, Dunham’s contribution to the world of show business and comedy was recognized on September 21, 2017, when he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, commemorating over two decades of superstardom. Said Dunham recently, “When I moved to Los Angeles in 1988 with a car full of clothes and a couple of dummies, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would be tripping over my own star on the Walk of Fame. It’s truly fantastic and a great honor; I just hope it’s not in front of an adult store. Okay, actually, that would be hilarious.”
