Jon Stewart Announces 2 Huge Shows in Poughkeepsie, NY

Comedian, television show host, and activist Jon Stewart announced his return to Comedy Central and a visit to the Hudson Valley.

Jon Stewart Returns to the Daily Show

Earlier this week, Jon Stewart returned to Comedy Central's The Daily Show. You may remember that Stewart first started hosting the political comedy talk show back in 1999. The comedian has quite the run, ending his hosting duties in 2015.

That's when Trevor Noah took over and hosted the show until 2022. Since then, The Daily Show has had many guests host to fill the vacant seat. Now in 2024, Jon Stewart has returned to save the day. For a limited time that is.

It's a political year after all, so why not bring back one of the best to ever do it on The Daily Show? Stewart will sit behind the desk every Monday night for election coverage. Monday, February 12th was his first night back on the show and he was welcomed with open arms.

"An Evening With Jon Stewart" Comes to Poughkeepsie

Much like his stint on The Daily Show, Stewart will return to the stand-up stage for a limited run.

Shortly after his return on The Daily Show, Stewart announced the "An Evening with Jon Stewart" Tour. Vulture reports the tour will be making a stop in 5 different cities between March and April 2024 and the first stop is right here in the Hudson Valley.

The Bardavon 1869 Oprea House will kick off the stand-up tour on Friday night, March 1st in Poughkeepsie. News spread like wildfire that the comedian would be in town and tickets sold out immediately.

Is Jon Stewart the Taylor Swift of the stand-up world?

Since the tickets were in such high demand a second show at The Bardavon has been added for Saturday, March 2nd at 7:30 pm. At last check (on Wednesday, February 14th, 2024) there are a limited amount of seats left.
