Jeff Dunham's "Disorderly Conduct" Tour Coming To The Colosseum At Caesars Palace!


Back by popular demand, Jeff Dunham and his hilarious cast of characters announced they are taking over Las Vegas once again when his “Disorderly Conduct” tour stops by The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Friday, June 14 at 8 p.m. The show is jointly presented by Caesars Palace and AEG Live.

Tickets are on sale  and may be purchased in person at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace Box Office, by calling   1-888-9-AXS-TIX (1-888-929-7849) or online by visiting www.thecolosseum.com or www.axs.com, keyword “Jeff Dunham.” Ticket prices are $89.50, $69.50, $59.50 and $49.50 (all prices include 10% Live Entertainment Tax). Showtime is 8 p.m. Orders are subject to additional service charges and fees.

Jeff Dunham’s television specials and series have been the highest rated programming in Comedy Central history, his DVD sales have reached seven million units, his videos have received a half a billion views on You Tube, and his live concerts have become mega-events played in front of sold-out arenas worldwide.    No wonder Time Magazine wrote that he is “the most popular comedian in the United States” and Forbes named him to its Celebrity 100 list of most powerful entertainers three years running.  Today, Jeff Dunham is a phenomenally successful global entertainment brand.

Dunham has, of course, plenty of help on-stage: his entourage of signature characters who are there to challenge and chastise his every sentence.   There’s Walter, the grumpy retiree; the beer-swilling, NASCAR-loving and resolutely red neck Bubba J; the furry and manic Peanut; José Jalapeño, the spicy pepper from South of the border; the bumbling skeletal Achmed the Dead Terrorist; the almost as dead long-lost son of Achmed, AJ; and Peanut’s own ventriloquist dummy: Little Jeff.   They may have all been conceived and hand crafted by Dunham, but his characters, who are anything but dummies, have now taken on a life of their own, each with their own legion of fans.

Today, Dunham’s global appeal is undeniable.  He was named top-grossing live comedy act in the world in 2009 and 2010 by Pollstar, the concert industry trade magazine.  He has sold-out stadium-sized shows across three continents, from the United Kingdom to Sydney, Toronto to Copenhagen. He sold-out an 8,000 seat hockey arena in Helsinki, Finland on Easter Sunday, and Dunham doesn’t speak a word of Finnish.  Or Swedish.  Or Norwegian. Or Afrikaan, which are the official languages of some of the countries he has visited.  There is universal appeal to Dunham’s relationship with his characters that transcends any small gaps in language translation.

He maintains a highly interactive relationship with his fans via JeffDunham.com and many social networking platforms, including over 6.5 million fans on Facebook.  His content partnerships include YouTube (where his Achmed clip is in the top five videos of all time designated as a favorite), Amazon.com, and iTunes.

In 2012, Jeff continued to pack arena-sized venues on his new Controlled Chaos live show.  He recently made his fourth trip to Europe this spring, stopping in the U.K.,
Germany, and Belgium, and his second trip to South Africa, selling out arenas in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Sun City and Durban.  Jeff just returned from his second trip to Australia and premiere visit to New Zealand, selling out arenas in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, and Auckland.

As an entertainer, Jeff Dunham has truly impacted popular culture, and his character catchphrases, such as Achmed's "Silence! I Keel You!" and José Jalapeño’s "On A Steek!'", are now part of our vernacular, much to the delight of multi-generational audiences worldwide.
