Beyond the touring circuit, Dunham has built an extraordinary body of work in the world of comedy specials; 12 of them, in fact. He currently holds three of the top five highest-rated programs on Comedy Central, with Minding the Monsters (2012) and Controlled Chaos (2011) each claiming the title of most-watched special on the network in their respective years.
His 2008 Jeff Dunham’s Very Special Christmas Special remains Comedy Central’s highest-rated program of all time, while his 2019 Netflix special Beside Himself still sits in the top five most-watched comedy specials on the platform. Across all digital and broadcast platforms, his specials have racked up close to 2.5 billion views.
Off stage, Dunham is an avid car collector with an extraordinary garage, think the Lost in Space chariots from both the original TV series and the current Netflix reboot, the Batmobile from Batman Returns, and a replica cast from the original mould of the iconic 1966 Batmobile.
He and his wife Audrey have also established the Jeff Dunham Family Fund, donating a portion of every ticket sold to a range of charities and charitable organisations.
Tickets on sale 27 February, 1pm local time.
