“Weird Al” Yankovic
Yankovic is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history and a true pop culture icon. He has built a career on hilarious and inventive parodies of some of the biggest hits of the past four decades, from Madonna and Michael Jackson to Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga. His iconic songs include “Amish Paradise,” “Eat It,” “Like a Surgeon,” “Smells Like Nirvana,” “Word Crimes,” and the platinum-selling “White & Nerdy.”
A five-time Grammy winner with 17 nominations, Yankovic is one of only three artists to chart in the Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 across four consecutive decades. His last album, Mandatory Fun, remains the only comedy album in history to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200.
Beyond music, Yankovic is an accomplished actor, writer, director, and producer, earning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018 and an Emmy Award for the 2022 film WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story (starring Daniel Radcliffe). His live shows have thrilled audiences worldwide at venues including Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, The Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Wolf Trap, The Kennedy Center, and Carnegie Hall.
The 2026 BIGGER & WEIRDER Tour is shaping up to be an unforgettable night of comedy, music, and spectacle — a must-see for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
