Tickets for the performance on Thursday, Oct. 9, in The Event Center at Rivers Casino Philadelphia are on sale now, starting at $49. Showtime is 8 p.m.

It’s been a transformational few years for stand-up comedian, actress, author and podcaster Johnson-Reyes, whose comedy career was ignited after her “Nail Salon” stand-up bit went viral on YouTube over a decade ago. She has wrapped up a sold-out 100-plus-show stand-up comedy theater tour across the United States; self-produced and financed her sixth comedy special — “Say I Won’t” — at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, which racked up over 5.9 million views (and counting) on YouTube; and most importantly, became a mother for the first time.

“Anjelah Johnson-Reyes: The Family Reunion Tour” is a global stand-up comedy tour that is spanning 150-plus shows in major theaters around the world in 2025 and 2026. In this brand-new family-friendly hour of stand-up comedy, Johnson-Reyes finds herself at an exciting crossroads — moving toward a new season in her life as a mother and family matriarch. She joyfully frames her relatable new hour of comedy around diving headfirst into motherhood in her 40s while interweaving stories about the most important people in her life — her husband, daughter, family and friends.

“Family reunions are all about coming together — laughing, eating, drinking, catching up and remarking on how everyone has changed — and that’s exactly how my shows feel,” said Johnson-Reyes. “You all truly feel like family to me — you’ve been with me since the start, 17 years ago, when that one video blew up. In many ways, we’ve all grown up together, and now we’re officially the adults — the tias and tios! Couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate this next hour of comedy and tour than to host a family reunion in each city and celebrate with you all! So bring your entire family, and let’s have some fun and laugh together!”

In April 2023, Johnson-Reyes wrapped up her most successful comedy tour so far in major theaters across North America. In Los Angeles, she sold out The Wiltern four times, with over 8,000 tickets sold. In Texas, she sold over 25,000 tickets across Houston, Austin, Dallas, Lubbock, San Antonio and El Paso. As part of her special tapings, she sold out the historic Ryman Auditorium twice, with over 4,000 tickets sold.

Johnson-Reyes recently launched her comedy and wellness podcast — “Funjelah with Anjelah Johnson-Reyes” — on YouTube and all major audio platforms — where she and a guest recount the things that they are grateful for and dive deep into how those gratitudes affect their lives. She recently appeared opposite Eddie Murphy in the Amazon Prime holiday film “Candy Cane Lane” and in season two of Amy Schumer’s “Life & Beth” on Hulu. Earlier this year, she hosted the eight-episode Tubi original series “My Crazy Quince,” which premiered in May.

Her book, “Who Do I Think I Am?: Stories of Chola Wishes and Caviar Dreams,” recently came out in paperback and contains stories of her growing up caught between her Mexican and American heritages, her rise to success in Hollywood and so much more. Those same relatable stories connect her in a meaningful way to her fans and have driven her social media engagement through the roof (she has over 1.3 million followers on Instagram, over 1.5 million on Facebook, over 680,000 on YouTube and over 3.2 million on TikTok).
