The Fairfield University Student Association revealed on Monday that Impractical Jokers star James “Murr” Murray will headline a comedy show at the end of the month at the Leo D. Mahoney Arena.

FUSA initially announced “The Spring Comedian” event on Feb. 27, but postponed the announcement of Murray for the show until the day before tickets went on sale.

In an email sent to students on Saturday, the event was described as “an interactive stand-up show featuring a celebrity.” In a new communication this week, FUSA emphasized that Murr will tell “funny stories, show off his own personal never-before-seen videos from Impractical Jokers, and play Impractical Jokers LIVE with the audience!”​​

The event is the first comedy show in the Leo D. Mahoney Arena since Dec. 2023, when Staten Island native Joe Gatto performed on campus as part of Winter Fest, a nine-day-long series of events that prepared students for the end of the semester and the holiday season.

That year, the Impractical Jokers alumnus performed for over an hour, with some jokes tailored to Fairfield-specific topics, including then-Fizz-famous Lucas Steele, to whom Gatto threw a Snicker’s bar as a punchline.

As it was when Gatto visited campus in 2023, Murray is adding Fairfield as part of his nationwide tour, The Errors Tour.

Student tickets for the event went on sale yesterday for seniors and juniors, while all other undergraduate students can buy tickets as of this morning. Tickets cost $10 for students and $15 for guests.
