Two of today’s hottest young comedy talents join forces on The Butterfly Effect Tour. Ralph Barbosa will make you laugh with his disarmingly laid-back style. He’s known for his Netflix special Cowabunga, HBO Max’s Entre Nos: The Winners 3. And René Vaca stole the show at the 2024 Netflix Is A Joke Fest. Before that, he won the top prize at the 16th annual StandUp NBC competition.

Two of the most celebrated singers in the game! GRAMMY® winner Ledisi (“High,” “Alright,” “Pieces of Me”) returns to NJPAC with her impeccable blend of R&B, soul and jazz. She’s fresh off the success of her new album Good Life (and a showstopping performance of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” at Super Bowl LIX). Joining her is 10x GRAMMY® nominee Marsha Ambrosius (“Far Away,” “The Greatest,” “One Night Stand”). Her voice is fire — so hot, it’ll give you chills.
