Literally LOL with Seth Meyers
Friday, April 19
Majestic Theatre
Seth Meyers is hitting the road this spring, and Dallas one of his stops. This is a night you should take advantage of because his show keeps him from touring often.

Cost: Tickets start from $37.
Sit back and enjoy some laughs by Trevor Noah

Toyota Music Factory
If you’re a fan of his quips on The Daily Show, you need to get to the Toyota Music Factory this weekend for Trevor Noah’s stand-up act.
