Aries Spears Announces Tour Stop at the Lexington Opera House on Sunday, June 28, 2026
LEXINGTON, KY (April 8, 2026) –– As part of his national tour, Aries Spears will perform at the Lexington Opera House on Sunday, June 28, 2026. Ever since the New York native was 14 years old, he has been a force to be reckoned with in the comedy scene throughout America. His quick wit, charisma, and ferociously aggressive style of comedy have earned him critical acclaim, high accolades, and above all, a busy schedule.
From being a regular on Fox’s Mad TV, starring in feature films, appearing on a number of national talk shows, and continually touring the country, where he continually sells out each and every city, Aries’ talents are widespread as he just passed the 3 million spins played on Pandora and his podcast is one of the "Musts" in the US.
Aries has also found great success in the world of feature films. At the age of 17, after being spotted in a comedy club, Aries landed a part in the movie Home of Angels, which eventually led to a starring role alongside John Leguizamo in TriStar’s The Pest, followed by the notable role as Cuba Gooding, Jr.’s brother in Columbia’s blockbuster hit, Jerry Maguire.
Aries’ fierce momentum paved the way from features to TV and his eight seasons on Mad TV. Aries continues to spread his comedic wings with the development of feature film projects—in addition to TV—which he is currently involved in writing.
Tickets will be available for purchase starting at 10 A.M. on Friday, April 10, at ticketmaster.com, lexingtonoperahouse.com, or in person at the Central Bank Center Box Office from 12-4 P.M. on Wednesdays and Fridays.
