Flyover Comedy Festival—billed as an annual “comedy invasion” of St. Louis—announced this morning that it will welcome Emmy-winning comedian and actress Sarah Silverman as the headliner for the fifth fest.
The accomplished comedian’s no-holds-barred brand of comedy has been making television, film, and, recently, even musical theater audiences laugh since the early ’90s. On November 11, she’ll bring her Sarah Silverman & Friends tour to the Stifel Theatre as part of Flyover’s three-day fest.

Tickets for Silverman’s show go on sale August 19 at 10 a.m., and prices range from $35-65. Individual tickets and festival wristbands can be purchased online.
In addition to Silverman’s headline event at Stifel, Flyover will welcome attendees to venues all over The Grove for more than 30 other performances. Among the participating venues are The Improv Shop, Handlebar, and the newest iteration of The Ready Room, which reopened in the former Atomic Cowboy space this summer.
“Considering our hopes for this festival when we started, our plans for Flyover in 2022 are a dream come true,” said Brady McAninch, co-founder of Flyover, in a release announcing Silverman’s show. “We–the festival organizers–are big fans of Sarah, and we’re honored to provide an occasion for her to visit St. Louis again.”
The complete lineup for the 2022 Flyover Comedy Festival is expected in the coming weeks. For more details, visit flyovercomedyfest.com.
