First, Morgan stops by New Brunswick for his "No Disrespect" tour at 8 p.m. Oct. 15. Morgan is one of the most well-respected comedians in his field, known for his roles across seven seasons of 30 Rock, where he received a Supporting Actor Emmy nomination, and Saturday Night Live, which earned him an Emmy nod for Outstanding Guest Actor.

Morgan was critically injured in a 2014 crash on the New Jersey Turnpike and he spent months undergoing traumatic brain injury rehabilitation at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute in Edison.

Lewis Black brings his "Off the Rails" tour at 8 p.m. Nov. 18. See Grammy award-winning stand-up comedian, actor and author Black live at State Theatre New Jersey.

Known as the King of Rant, Lewis Black uses his trademark style of comedic yelling and finger pointing to expose the absurdities of life. His comedic brilliance makes people laugh at life’s hypocrisies and the insanity he sees in the world.

And finally, comedian Anthony Rodia makes his State Theatre debut with The Road Rage Tour at 8 p.m. Nov. 26. A first-generation Italian-American born and raised in Westchester, NY, Rodia came out of the womb making people laugh.

In his 20s he tried a few open mics, but ultimately took a different career path as a finance manager of a luxury car dealership. In 2019, Rodia returned to comedy and left his day job to become a full-time stand-up comic. He hit the ground running and performed 100 shows in just nine months, and within three years Rodia has gained a massive fan base online and around the country. This show is co-presented by State Theatre New Jersey and The Stress Factory Comedy Club.
