Nate Bargatze Extends Marathon Run Atop Monthly Comedy Boxscore Recap

Earlier Monday (March 30), Billboard published the February Boxscore report, with Ed Sheeran, Bad Bunny, and My Chemical Romance leading the pack. But while the biggest stars of pop, Latin and more packed stadiums, comedians were road warrior-ing their way to sold-out theaters and arenas. Here, we’re looking at the five biggest comedy tours of February 2026.

Last year, Billboard launched its comedy hub with rundowns of the biggest touring comedians of the midyear Boxscore period (Oct. 1, 2024 – March 31, 2025) and of the months that followed. Sebastian Maniscalco, John Mulaney and “Weird Al” Yankovic topped those lists, but another former chart-topper continues his stranglehold over the monthly ranking.

Nate Bargatze repeats at No. 1, leading for the sixth of the last seven months. His long run at the top was only interrupted by John Mulaney on the December recap.

Bargatze bookended his February routing with double-headers in Indianapolis and Estero, Florida, bringing in $2.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively. In between, he crossed the border to Calgary, Alberta, and stopped in Springfield of Illinois and Missouri, Jacksonville, Fla., and Columbia, Mo. Though he did hit Boston and Denver among some other major American cities, his Big Dumb Eyes Tour, now more than 100 shows deep in North America alone, has mostly stuck to tertiary markets.
