"Weird Al" Yankovic

June 7 2026

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and show starts at 8:00 p.m.
Chartway Arena 4320 Hampton Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23508

Weird Al brings his legendary full-production multimedia comedy rock show back to the concert stage with the BIGGER & WEIRDER 2026 Tour, playing his iconic hits as well as some never-performed-live-before fan favorites. Al’s long-time band is joined by four additional players to create a super-sized concert experience. Special guests include Puddles Pity Party.

“Weird Al” Yankovic is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history. A 5-time Grammy Award winner, he is best known for his parodies of the biggest musical artists over the last 4 decades, including Madonna, Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, Queen, U2 and Lady Gaga, all with their personal blessings. His many hits include “Amish Paradise,” “Eat It,” “Like a Surgeon,” “Smells Like Nirvana,” “Word Crimes,” and the platinum-selling “White & Nerdy.” His last album Mandatory Fun is the only comedy album in history to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200. Yankovic’s live shows have entertained audiences across the globe for generations, including appearances at such iconic venues as Radio City Music Hall, The Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks, Carnegie Hall, Wolf Trap, The Kennedy Center and Madison Square Garden. In 2022, Yankovic produced and co-wrote the Emmy-winning biopic WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story, starring Daniel Radcliffe in the title role.

VIP Meet & Greet and Backstage Tour Packages are available for this show. Click Here for more information on VIP packages.

Puddles Pity Party, the 7-foot sad clown whose golden voice is “comparable to any Grammy winner” (Los Angeles Times), has amassed over 900K YouTube subscribers and performed sold out shows around the globe including San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts, London’s Soho Theatre and a residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. He has performed on stage with such legends as Eric Idle, Nick Offerman, Jack Black, Maynard James Keenan and Primus. Puddles’ one-of-a-kind “textured voice laced with melancholy” (NY Times) has been hailed as “operatic” (Boston Globe) and his show both “life-affirming” (Herald Scotland) and “hysterically funny” (LA Weekly).

"Eternally Yours," A Dark Romance And Fantasy Ball

February 14 2026

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and show starts at 8:00 p.m.
Maker's Craft Brewery 735 E 23rd St, Norfolk, VA 23504, Price: From $101.81

Step into a world of fantasy, dark romance, and eternal love

“Love is the madness that makes the heart fearless and the soul eternal.”

The invitation came as a soft whisper, a gentle caress on the neck yet so intentional. The ball and its promises beckoned like a tender pull into a whirlwind of fantasy.

You knew what was to come, at least in part. The decadence of food and drink, the endless dancing, the secretive messages and grandeur of the ballroom, all were vows made already.

But the mystery of your destiny remained, how would you embrace the call of eternity? By yourself? With trusted companions? Or with an already loving hand in yours?

The choice is yours, dear one.
