SUMMARY:Ali Siddiq: The Custom Fit Tour
DESCRIPTION:EVENT: Ali Siddiq: The Custom Fit Tour\nDATE:  Saturday\, June 27\, 2026\, at 7:00PM\nLOCATION: Selena Auditorium\n \n\nTICKET PRICES: Starting at $30\nTickets available at Ticketmaster or Arena box office.\nThis performance is recommended for audiences ages 16 and older. \n\n\nVIP M&G: $125 *Online Only​​*\n  \nABOUT THE SHOW: Fresh off his 2026 NAACP Image Award nomination for his standup special Ali Siddiq: My Two Sons\, the only independently produced YouTube special to ever receive a major award nomination\, Siddiq will perform brand new material in theaters across the country. \nCrowned by Vulture as “stand-up comedy’s most prolific storyteller\,” Ali Siddiq has built a dedicated massive fanbase clamoring to attend his live shows and watch his masterful independently produced and released specials.  He premiered his four-part stand-up series The Domino Effect 1-4 in 2022-2024 which has amassed over 47 million views. The storytelling saga cemented Ali’s reputation as a master craftsman of narrative comedy. Each chapter became a cultural event\, landing Ali among the top-viewed comedians on YouTube year after year.  \nAlso during that time\, Ali released the special Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover (2023) which has amassed 6 million views. In 2025 alone he released 3 more hour standup specials\, My Two Sons (12M+ views)\, Rugged (7M+ views) and Mondays (3M+ views).  Deadline included Ali in their list of “Comics Who Won 2025” and My Two Sons earned Siddiq a 2026 NAACP Nomination for “Outstanding Variety Series or Special.” He will be releasing 3 more new hour specials in 2026 that have already been filmed. An emerging comedy mogul\, Ali also executive-produces and distributes multiple specials for other comedians including Malik S. and Ryan Davis\, with a 2nd special from Marcus D. Wiley coming up on February 1. \nFrom Houston\, TX\, Ali developed his unmistakable voice in one of the most unlikely places — behind the walls of incarceration\, where storytelling was survival\, currency\, and community. Comedy Central would later sent him back inside a Texas jail to film It’s Bigger Than These Bars (4M+ views). Today\, that same voice has made him one of the most watched\, respected\, and consistently viral comedians in the world.

SUMMARY:George Lopez

In 2004\, he was nominated for his first Grammy in the same category for Team Leader. \nOn television\, Lopez produced and starred in Lopez\, a semi-autobiographical single camera sitcom for two seasons on TV Land. The series explored his struggle between two worlds and the crises that are often of his own making.   In 2014\, Lopez co-created and starred in the multi-camera ensemble comedy Saint George for FX.  He hosted TBS’ inaugural late night talk show\, Lopez Tonight\, for two seasons\, marking Lopez’s return to series television after co-creating\, writing\, producing and starring in Warner Bros. Television’s groundbreaking hit sitcom George Lopez\, which ran for six seasons on ABC. The show remains a hit with viewers on both broadcast stations and cable TV’s Nick at Nite\, ranking as one of the top-rated shows on the network. \nLopez’s extensive film credits include Walking with Herb opposite Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell\, IFC Films’ modern-day Western No Man’s Land\, The Tax Collector with Shia LaBeouf\, El Chicano alongside Raúl Castillo\, Aimee Garcia and Emilio Rivera\, the romantic comedy box-office hit Valentine’s Day\, The Spy Next Door with Jackie Chan\, and The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. He starred in and produced the inspirational drama\, Spare Parts\, based on a true story about four undocumented Mexican American teens who team up to build a robot for a national competition.  An icon and advocate for Latino representation\, Lopez was the focus of the award-winning documentary Brown is the New Green: George Lopez and the American Dream\, as he struggles to stand for Latinos in a manner true to their realities and aspirations. \nLopez has lent his voice to a string of animated blockbuster films including Gnome Alone\, Escape from Planet Earth\, as well as the Rio\, Smurfs\, Beverly Hills Chihuahua\, and Cats & Dogs franchises. \nIn May 2004\, Lopez’s autobiography\, Why You Crying?\, entered The New York Times Bestseller Top 20 List. The book was co-written by Emmy-winning writer and sportscaster Armen Keteyian. Lopez released his second memoir in 2013\, I’m Not Gonna Lie And Other Lies You Tell When You Turn 50\, in which he shares the unabashed and hilarious truth about aging – as only he can. \nIn 2005\, Time named him one of the 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America and the Harris Poll named him one of the Top Ten Favorite Television Personalities. The following year\, Lopez received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. \nDon’t miss your chance to see him LIVE at Selena Auditorium on Saturday\, July 25! \nTickets are on sale now.

It’s no surprise then that on a recent afternoon\, Furstenfeld is nothing less than blunt in his assessment of his iconic band’s breakthrough album. “It’s fucking beauty! It’s gorgeous! It’s timeless!” the singer says with zero hesitation. He’s speaking to Foiled\, Blue October’s epic and undeniably enduring 2006 landmark LP\, a 14-track collection that temporarily sent the Houston-bred band into the stratosphere thanks to seminal singles including “Hate Me” and “Into The Ocean.” \nAnd while on first glance it might appear the musician is lavishing praise upon his band’s most well-known project\, it’s anything but hubris. Rather\, Furstenfeld is speaking to the appreciation and love he’s come to feel for the project\, notably the knowledge of what that specific body of work did and continues to do for him\, for his band\, for his overall mental well-being\, for his journey to the present. Because for as much as Foiled initially sent Furstenfeld and Blue October’s life into a manic whirlwind\, now\, as the singer looks back on it 20 years in the rearview\, and particularly as the band prepares to launch a yearlong Foiled 20th-anniversary celebration\, the singer has come to realize what a true blessing his band’s most beloved body of work has been in his life. \n“So now here we are\,” Furstenfeld says as Blue October which includes drummer Jeremy Furstenfeld\, multi-instrumentalist Ryan Delahoussaye\, bassist Matt Noveskey\, and lead guitarist Will Knaak prepare to hit the road this fall for a Foiled headline tour where they’ll play the classic album in its entirety. “Let’s show and remind everyone just how special and eclectic that album was\,” the singer says of Foiled. “And\, most importantly\, how much we wore our heart on our sleeve for it.” \nWritten chiefly by Furstenfeld and produced by Furstenfeld and Dave Castel\, the collection balances deeply confessional lyrics with soaring melodies and emotional honesty that would become Blue October’s hallmark. Foiled is a dangerous and devious album\, a collection of delightfully disturbing poetic songs. It oozes with authenticity (see dark love songs including “You Make Me Smile” and “She’s My Ride Home”) and bubbles with transparency. Even when the melodies were undoubtedly irresistible\, as was the case with standout single “Hate Me\,” the message was forever intensely personal and heartfelt. \nIn many ways\, Foiled was the culmination of everything Blue October had worked for. After releasing their second album while signed to Universal Records\, 1999’s Consent to Treatment\, the band was subsequently dropped by the label the following year. Three years later\, however\, off the success of “Calling You\,” the first single off what would become their third full-length LP\, History for Sale\, the band was re-signed by Universal Republic. \nIt was Foiled however and the process that got the band there that changed everything for Blue October. Furstenfeld largely disappeared while writing Foiled. Feeling misunderstood\, he isolated himself and wrote with a feverish obsession\, as well as with the need to finally dissect the maddening beauty behind depression\, addiction and mental illness – obstacles that had haunted him for his entire life to that point. With no one to watch or judge him\, and without anyone to cast doubt over his creative process\, he bled onto paper with a level of brutal honesty previously unseen. This album would go on to burn like wildfire connecting with millions of people around the world by giving a face and a name to the demons collectively. \nThis emotional experience endured while writing Foiled colors the album with a palpably raw sentiment; it’s almost hot to the touch. Blue October’s deeply committed fanbase\, as well as the general public\, responded to it near immediately upon release: Foiled cracked the Billboard Rock Chart Top 10\, was eventually RIAA-certified platinum. \nAnd while Foiled marked a breakthrough moment for the band\, it was truly only the beginning for Blue October: the album’s deeply personal songwriting and emotionally resonant sound not only cemented the Houston-bred band as one of rock’s most distinctive voices\, but the deep connection it forged with their fanbase through the album’s highly personal lyrics remains palpable today. As the band’s global presence has continually grown. Blue October’s catalog now surpasses one billion streams and continues to climb – new listeners continue to discover Foiled alongside the band’s ever-expansive catalog that followed in its wake. \nAt the time however\, Furstenfeld readily admits he could hardly enjoy all the supposedly great things happening around him and the band: not only was the singer in the throes of a heavy drug addiction\, but with the singer breaking his leg backstage during an early date on the Foiled headline tour directly coinciding with the height of mania surrounding the band and project Blue October was subsequently forced to cancel the remainder of that tour. Just as soon as everything had seemingly taken off for Blue October\, it felt as if things were crashing down. \nAs documented in the stunning 2020 documentary\, Get Back Up\, the next few years for Blue October were plagued by Furstenfeld’s deepening drug addiction as well as interband turmoil. In May 2012\, Furstenfeld entered rehab and he has been sober ever since. His recovery journey has transformed not only the band’s music\, but also his personal outlook on life. “It’s a fucking awesome life right now\,” he says proudly with a smile.  \nTo that end\, now 20 years after Foiled’s release\, as the band prepares to celebrate the album’s two-decade anniversary\, Furstenfeld finally is able to enjoy all that the transformative 2006 LP brought into his and his band’s life. In short\, he says he believes everything played out as it should. \n“It did what it’s supposed to do\,” he says of the album in retrospect. I’m the most spiritually beautiful\, calm\, peaceful\, amazing person and father that I never was before” \nAnd while on the surface the Foiled anniversary might appear to be backward-looking\, for Furstenfeld it’s a lesson and exercise in how the past can shape the present. “That’s why we’re doing an anniversary tour for it now. It’s so cool. You gotta celebrate the fact that we made that music. And now look where we are because of it. It’s such a blessing.” \n  \nOn sale now!
