Comedy sensation Mojo Brookzz is bringing his hit OUTTA POCKET TOUR to Taft Theatre on Saturday, May 8. Following an extraordinary run of sold-out performances across the country, Brookzz is giving Cincinnati fans the opportunity to experience his hilarious, unfiltered comedy live.
The newly announced Cincinnati date comes on the heels of an incredible touring run for Brookzz. His 2025 I Know You Fckin’ Lying* Tour sold out across 40 cities, moving more than 100,000 tickets, while his 2026 Outta Pocket Tour has continued that momentum. Major theatre and arena performances have sold out in hours, with additional shows added in markets nationwide.
Named one of Variety's 10 Comics to Watch for 2025, Brookzz has quickly become a force both on and off the stage. His debut Netflix comedy special debuted at No. 1 on the platform's charts, while his viral comedy content has amassed millions of views and more than 250 million likes across social media. He can also be seen on Nick Cannon's Wild 'N Out and in multiple television and film projects.
ABOUT MOJO BROOKZZ
Dyon “Mojo” Brooks is an actor, writer, producer, and nationally acclaimed stand-up comedian whose debut one-hour special hit number one on the Netflix charts for three days straight following release, a feat less than three comics have achieved in the history of the platform.
Mojo headlined the prestigious Netflix Is a Joke Festival this May with a sold out show at Los Angeles’s United Theatre. He is currently on his fully-sold out 2026-2027 “Outta Pocket” Theatre + Arena solo headline tour with stops including State Farm Arena, Toyota Center, Bridgestone Arena, and back-to-back sold out nights at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. With this tour, he enters the rarified air of <30 comedians that can sell out an arena (let alone two in one city) on their own.
As an actor, Brooks will next be seen in the upcoming Netflix film THE GOSPEL OF CHRISTMAS this December as well as SkyDance Sports HOLIDAY TOUCHDOWN: A BEARS LOVE STORY streaming now. He plays dual roles in Season 2 of the Tubi comedy series SAFE SPACE and made his debut as the male lead in MISS GOVERNOR on Netflix, which held a multiple-week Top 10 following its debut. Additionally, Dyon can be seen on Season 21 of Nick Cannon’s WILD N OUT.
Brooks is a Chicago native, and September 12 was officially proclaimed "Mojo Brooks Day" in the city this year. Brooks was named Comedian of the Year for 2026 via Sheen Magazine and was named to Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch for 2025 where he was honored at the historic JFL Montreal.
Additionally, Brooks frequently collaborates with the Chicago Bears, for which he won a Sports-Emmy. He has also partnered with The Bulls x American Express, and as well as The White Sox x Minute Maid. When not entertaining audiences, Brooks gives back to his community in Chicago, dedicating his time and resources to support youth development programs, demonstrating his commitment to making a positive impact beyond the stage and screen.
