Patton Oswalt, Tig Notaro among 150 comics coming to St. Louis comedy fest

Patton Oswalt and Tig Notaro will be among the funny people descending upon Missouri this fall, when the Flyover Comedy Festival returns to St. Louis Nov. 14-16.

In its seventh year, the festival is bringing more than 150 comics to 10 different stages in the city, according to a piece published Wednesday by 800 Pound Gorilla Media. Oswalt and Notaro, who will perform together Nov. 15 at Stifel Theatre, will form this year's Flyover centerpiece.

One of our true pop-culture polymaths, Oswalt has done it all: appearing in sitcoms, historical dramas and films; voicing video-game characters and theme-park attractions; penning books and comics. But the true heartbeat of his career remains his wonderfully askew storytelling and observational humor on stage.

Another modern legend, Notaro brilliantly weds bone-dry humor with thoughtful commentary on life, death and family — especially in the wake of her own cancer diagnosis more than a decade ago. Notaro keeps humming across multiple platforms and never sounds anything less than inspired.

Among the other comics set to perform at this year's Flyover: The Sklar Brothers, Jackie Fabulous, Ben Bailey, Henry Phillips, Zach Noe Towers and Joyelle Nicole Johnson.

Tickets for the Oswalt-Notaro double bill range from $39-$74; three-day wristbands range from $45-$95, with varying levels of access. To see the full lineup and learn more, visit https://www.flyovercomedyfest.com/.
