Washington, D.C., native Michael Blaustein is the class clown who never grew out of the role. The comedian’s thirst for attention has taken him to stages around the world.

Blaustein’s The Taste Me Tour is heading to San Antonio this Wednesday and Thursday, bringing along the high-octane crowd work that fuels his viral clips.

Some find Blaustein’s unfiltered style abrasive, but fans know there’s no malice behind it, just a goofball having fun.

Audiences might recognize him from MTV’s Punk’d reboot, Battleclips or CBS’ Person of Interest. His longest-running project is Stiff Socks, a podcast about doing weird stuff that he launched with Trevor Wallace in 2019 and that is still going strong.

Onstage, he mixes crowd work with written jokes, proving his 2024 special’s title is right: he’s a Silly Goose.

$25.01-$110.19, 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11 and Thursday, Nov. 12, Charline McCombs Empire Theatre, 226 N. St. Mary’s St., (210) 226-5700, charlinemccombsempiretheater.com.
