Ellen DeGeneres says bye on final standup tour with stop in Dallas
Comedian Ellen DeGeneres is saying goodbye to touring with Ellen’s Last Stand… Up, a farewell tour that includes a stop at the Music Hall at Fair Park on Wednesday, July 10.
UPDATE - 7-3-24: DeGeneres has canceled her shows in Dallas and San Antonio. A planned second show in Austin on July 14 was also canceled, although the July 13 show will still take place.
The 21-city tour, which starts on June 19 in San Diego, California, will culminate with a taping of her show in Minneapolis, Minnesota for a to-be-named special that will debut on Netflix later in 2024.
In addition to Dallas, other Texas stops include San Antonio on July 12 and Austin on July 13.
DeGeneres, of course, is a longtime mainstay in the comedy business, having gotten her start in the early 1980s and appearing on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1986.
She is best known for the sitcom Ellen, which ran from 1994 to 1998, and on which both she and her character came out as gay. She followed that up with the daytime talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which ran for almost 20 years until its end in 2022.
That ending didn't come without controversy, however, as DeGeneres was accused of fostering a "toxic work culture" at the show, allegations which led to the firing of three of the show's producers.
Tickets for the tour will be available starting with an artist presale on Thursday, May 30 ahead of the general on-sale on Friday, May 31 at 10 am at LiveNation.com.
