Jim Gaffigan
When: August 15 | 7:30 PM
Where: JQH Arena
Tickets are on sale now to see one of the funniest and cleanest comedians working today, Jim Gaffigan. His humor is observational stuff mostly based around foodstuffs. His legendary Hot Pockets material will have you on the floor laughing before you head out to this show of completely new material. Gaffigan is a family man, which shows up frequently in his act and he doesn’t do toilet humor. Well, at least not the bad language kind.
Chris Stapleton
When: October 3 | 7pm
Where: JQH Arena
This show is currently sold out, but we thought we’d include it anyway because it’s Chris Freaking Stapleton! Now you probably already know about the man, but did you know that he was a songwriter before making his own music? He wrote songs for Luke Bryan, George Strait, Adele, Brad Paisley and more. His own stuff is responsible for 5 Grammys, 10 CMA awards and 6 ACM awards. There’s a reason it’s sold out, folks.
Shinedown
When: October 5 | 6:15 PM
Where: JQH Arena
The owners of the number two spot all time on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock list for number one songs, Shinedown will be playing a show in the Q to promote their new album Attention, Attention. Joining them on tour is early 2000s rockers Papa Roach along with Asking Alexandria and Savage After Midnight.
Miranda Lambert
When: October 25 | 7PM
Where: JQH Arena
Platinum recording artist and country music superstar Miranda Lambert will be gracing the stage at JQH on October 25th in Springfield. She’s on the road with her Roadside Bars and Pink Guitars tour and is playing all her classic hits. It will almost certainly be a near sold out show, so you might wanna grab those tickets fast!
Napoleon Dynamite
When: November 15 | 8 pm
Where: The Gillioz Theater
Even if you’ve seen it 100 times before, Napoleon Dynamite still has laughs you can enjoy again and again. In this very special screening of the cult classic comedy, visitors to the Gillioz will be in for an additional treat. Three integral cast members from the film will be present to discuss the movie’s impact with the crowd! Napoleon Dynamite himself, Jon Heder will be joined by John Gries (AKA Uncle Rico) and Efren Ramirez, better known from the film as Pedro.
Demetri Martin
When: November 17 | 7:00 p.m.
Where: Gillioz Theater
Fans of Conan O’Brien and The Daily Show when Jon Stewart was still hosting will no doubt be familiar with Demetri Martin. He’s the scruffy New York comedian who displays a wide range of talent in his acts including drawing, music and of course quite a few laughs. He’s a quirky guy who will keep you on your toes and make you laugh in ways you didn’t think were possible. Plus, he’s mostly a clean comedian.
CATS
When: June 2-4, 2020
Where: Juanita K. Hammons Hall
The 2019-2020 season at Juanita K. is going to be huge. In addition to one of the most popular Broadway plays of all time in CATS, they’ll also be featuring Les Miserables, Waitress and Escape to Margaritaville. Now is a great time to become a season ticket holder if you love the theater. If you don’t love it yet, try it out. They put on one heck of a show!
