‘Weird Al’ Yankovic Dominates July Comedy Boxscore Report With More Than $8M Gross

Billboard published the July Boxscore report on Tuesday (Aug. 26) , with – yet again – Beyoncé on top, wrapping up Cowboy Carter Tour with another $102 million. But while the biggest stars of rock, hip-hop and more packed stadiums, comedians were road warrioring their way to sold-out theaters and arenas. Here, we’re looking at the five biggest comedy tours of July 2025.

Earlier this summer, Billboard launched its comedy hub with rundowns of the biggest touring comedians of the midyear Boxscore period (Oct. 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025) and of May and June 2025. Sebastian Maniscalco, Nate Bargatze and Matt Rife topped those lists, respectively, but July’s ranking has a new leader, though he is not new to the stage.

“Weird Al” Yankovic roars in atop July comedy breakout with more than $8 million and over 140,000 tickets sold, surpassing the monthly gross and attendance of the previous three leaders. His schedule was packed, with 20 shows in the 31-day month. Among the top 100 earning artists of the month, across all genres, it’s the most shows that anyone played, approached only by Kesha (19), Phish and Tyler, The Creator (17 each).

Yankovic’s biggest stop was at New York’s Madison Square Garden, bringing in more than $1 million on July 12 from a sold-out crowd of 12,461 fans. He also sold more than 10,000 tickets at Budweiser Stage (Toronto), Wolf Trap National Park (Vienna, Va.), DTE Energy Music Theatre (Clarkston, Mich.) and The Mann Center (Philadelphia).
