Stavros Halkias isn’t a household name, but after the release of the comedian’s 2024 special Fat Rascal and his co-starring turn in Tires with Shane Gillis, it won’t be long.
A Magoobys Joke House New Comedian of the year, Halkias is known for incorporating crowd work into his observational standup and also for convincing you that weird can be downright hilarious. Expect him to employ his full bag of tricks when he performs Friday, April 4, at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts’ H-E-B Performance Hall.
Those who follow stand-up may know him from the Stavvy’s World podcast, where he and other comics dish out advice, or the 2024 dark comedy Let’s Start a Cult, which he co-wrote and starred in.
On a recent episode of the YouTube series Hot Ones, Halkias admitted, “All I want to do is make dumb movies.” The 84% audience rating for Let’s Start a Cult on Rotten Tomatoes suggests he succeeded.
$35-$60, 8 p.m., H-E-B Performance Hall, Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, 100 Auditorium Circle, (210) 223-8624, tobincenter.org.
