If you\u2019ve ever been lightly annoyed by the same things everyone else is too polite to mention, there\u2019s a good chance David Spade has been your guy for more than three decades.<\/p>\n
Although he seldom reaches Larry David levels of annoyance, the comedian and actor\u2019s grievances and self-deprecating nature are hilariously intertwined, assuring you that it\u2019s perfectly OK to find yourself bothered by life\u2019s minor inconveniences.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, Spade is bringing his signature curmudgeon-lite energy to San Antonio with back to back shows Friday, Feb. 20, and Saturday, Feb. 21, at the Majestic Theatre.<\/p>\n
The Saturday Night Live legend is on his I Got a Feel for It standup tour, a name born from one of the his most-memorable TV moments. During the star-studded 50th Anniversary SNL special, an over-the-top sketch got so chaotic that Spade disappeared from the stage and walked back to his seat in the audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When John Mulaney asked from the stage why he left, Spade\u2019s deadpan response? \u201cI got a feel for it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s Spade in a nutshell \u2014 dry, unbothered, and somehow the funniest person in the room because of it all.<\/p>\n
A performer who has been in the limelight for most of his life, the still youthful-looking Spade comes across as the same insecure yet permanently sarcastic guy from SNL\u2019s classic \u201cBuh-bye\u201d and Office Assistant sketches. Those bits cemented his acting path, but don\u2019t mistake laid-back for low energy \u2014 he\u2019s surprisingly lively on stage. If you only know Spade from movies and TV, his standup will recalibrate everything you thought you knew about him.<\/p>\n
Spade\u2019s onscreen career has been prolific, spanning his five-year run on SNL alongside Adam Sandler and Chris Farley, the Emmy-nominated role of Dennis Finch on Just Shoot Me, the cult classic Joe Dirt andthe Grown Ups franchise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So prolific, in fact, that people often forget where it all began: standup. Spade\u2019s comedy specials, dating back to 1998, are solid insights into what he thinks you should find hilarious \u2014\u00a0and it\u2019s not always what you\u2019d expect. His everyman persona on stage makes you feel like you\u2019re exchanging tales while hanging out in a comfortable living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Spade\u2019s most recent special, 2025\u2019s Dandelion, proves he hasn\u2019t lost a step. In it, he riffs on cultural news, the absurd logistics of performing with a wired microphone on a massive stage and a McDonald\u2019s trip gone awry, not to mention the occasional name drop. The comedian delivers everyday observations as someone who has spent decades watching the entertainment industry from the inside, yet he\u2019s eager to remind you that he likes his Chicken McNuggets and porn as much as anyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite the uneven history of SNL cast members jumping to the big screen, Spade\u2019s amassed a staggeringly good run. Tommy Boy and Black Sheep with the late Chris Farley cemented one of comedy\u2019s most beloved partnerships \u2014 and earned the pair a 1996 MTV Movie Award for Best On-Screen Duo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Wrong Missy became peak pandemic viewing in 2020, bringing Spade back to live-action screens after years deep in the animated Hotel Transylvania franchise. It also cast him for the first time as the lead in a rom-com, albeit one decidedly more com than rom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then there\u2019s the Grown Ups films, The Benchwarmers, Dickie Roberts, Rules of Engagement \u2014 the man\u2019s resume reads like a guided tour through more than three decades of American everyman comedy.<\/p>\n
Beyond the screen, Spade has become a podcasting force alongside fellow SNL alum Dana Carvey via the pair\u2019s Fly on the Wall, which launched in 2022. The show has evolved from SNL deep dives into something bigger \u2014 alternating between guest interviews and cultural commentary that feels refreshingly un-newsy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That same energy made his short-lived Comedy Central show Lights Out with David Spade worth watching, and it\u2019s exactly why the podcast works so well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Spade\u2019s last San Antonio appearance was in 2022 for his Catch Me Inside tour \u2014 and yes, that title is exactly the kind of cultural reference he loves to make his own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For many comedy fans, Spade\u2019s been a near-constant onscreen presence who\u2019s made us laugh since the \u201cbuh-bye\u201d days. The fact that he\u2019s still touring, still sharp and still finding new ways to be annoyed by the world is a gift.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll walk out quoting him for weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
