About René Vaca

René Vaca is a 29-year-old stand-up comedian, writer, and actor born and raised in the San Fernando Valley of Southern California. After dropping out of college to pursue his passion for comedy full-time, Vaca has not looked back — building one of the most impressive rapid rises in the current stand-up landscape.

His breakout came when he won the 16th Annual StandUp NBC Competition, a prestigious industry showcase that has launched the careers of numerous top comedians. That recognition opened major doors, and Vaca has walked through every one of them.

In 2024, Vaca was selected as one of Netflix’s featured Introducing comedians at the prestigious Netflix Is a Joke Festival — one of the highest-profile showcases in comedy. He promptly sold out two of his own headlining sets at the festival, underscoring that his fanbase was already substantial and passionate long before mainstream recognition caught up.

Online, Vaca has amassed over 3.2 million social media followers and millions of views across platforms, driven by clips that capture his quick-fire crowd interactions and relatable storytelling about growing up Latino in SoCal. He hosts his own monthly show Leg Day at the Hollywood Laugh Factory, a beloved fixture on the Los Angeles comedy scene. His 2025 comedy special Live in Portland further cemented his status as a headliner ready for the biggest stages.

Vaca’s live shows are celebrated for their spontaneous, conversational rhythm. He pivots effortlessly off the room with fearless audience riffs and stitches in clean callbacks that pay off with bursts of energy. With the 2026 Tour now playing theaters and concert halls coast to coast — from historic venues in Atlanta and Los Angeles to the Southwest — René Vaca is proving that comedy’s next headline act is already here.

About John Mulaney

John Mulaney is a four-time Emmy Award, Critics’ Choice Award, and WGA Award-winning writer, comedian, and actor. Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Mulaney rose to prominence as a writer on Saturday Night Live, where he spent four years on staff before returning to host the show six times — a testament to the affection SNL holds for him.

His stand-up career has yielded a string of acclaimed specials. Kid Gorgeous at Radio City (2018) earned him an Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special. John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch (2019) was an Emmy-nominated musical variety special that showcased his creative range. His fifth special, Baby J (Netflix, April 2023), earned him a 2023 Emmy win for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special and a 2024 Critics’ Choice Award for Best Comedy Special.

Beyond stand-up, Mulaney has excelled across multiple creative platforms. He hosted, wrote, and executive-produced the Netflix talk show Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney, a continuation of the hit six-night live series Everybody’s in LA (Netflix Is a Joke Festival, 2024). In December 2024, he starred in the Broadway play “All In: Comedy About Love” alongside Fred Armisen, Richard Kind, and Renée Elise Goldsberry.

The Mister Whatever tour, launched in 2025 and now spanning a massive global run through 2026, has cemented Mulaney’s status as one of the preeminent comedians of his era. The tour’s 2026 North American leg includes historic stops at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the Hollywood Bowl, and Wrigley Field — where Mulaney will make history as the first comedian ever to headline the iconic Chicago ballpark.
