Celebrate Homecoming 2026 with an unforgettable night of comedy at Northrop! “Impractical Jokers” star Sal Vulcano and “Overcompensating” favorite Wally Baram take the stage for a one-night-only performance — bursting with scene-stealing energy, effortless stage presence, impeccable timing and sharp, observational humor. Gather your friends and kick off your Homecoming weekend with non-stop laughs from two of today’s funniest stand-up comedians.
Best known for co-creating, executive producing and starring in one of the most recognized and long-standing comedy shows of all time, “Impractical Jokers,” comedian Sal Vulcano kicked off his newest national stand-up tour Everything’s Fine in fall 2024 — which he is still performing in fall 2026 — after selling out in over 60 markets during his previous tour, including notable landmark venues such as The Beacon Theatre and The Ryman Auditorium.
Also in 2024, Vulcano’s debut special “Terrified” premiered — garnering over one million views within the first weeks of its release, currently pacing for two million views just a few months later — further expanding his profile in the comedy world.
In 2021, Vulcano created the No Presh Podcast Network — home of the hit podcasts “Hey Babe!” (co-hosted with comedian Chris Distefano) and “Taste Buds” (co-hosted with comedian Joe DeRosa).
Vulcano also tours with his “Impractical Jokers” co-stars, selling out countless arenas over the years. Some notable sell-outs include New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden, Prudential Center three times, TD Garden, London’s O2 Arena seven times (including four shows in a row) and Radio City Music Hall seven times. They have sold over 1.5 million tickets since 2013.
“Impractical Jokers,” with its new home on the TBS network, is currently in its 13th season (approaching 300 episodes) with new episodes airing every Thursday night — as well as in syndication with 13 international versions to date.
After signing a first-look deal with Warner Discovery, Vulcano and his partners launched Bad Woods Entertainment. Their first greenlit project, “Foul Play,” hosted by NBA star and LA Laker Anthony Davis, aired in 2025.
Vulcano and his partners executive produced and starred in the game show “The Misery Index,” which aired on TBS for three seasons.” Impractical Jokers” has also produced multiple spin-off shows, including “Impractical Jokers After Party,” “Impractical Jokers Dinner Party,” “Inside Jokes” and “Jokers Wild” — a sketch comedy show. In 2019, “Impractical Jokers: The Movie” was released in theaters, cracking the top 10 in weekly box office, averaging the highest per screen average of all active releases for four straight weeks.
Wally Baram is a Mexican-Syrian stand-up comedian, writer and actress living in New York City. Baram is a series regular and co-executive producer on the hit Amazon series “Overcompensating,” created by Benito Skinner, which was just renewed for its second season. She earned a 2026 Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Breakthrough Performance for her acting debut starring as Carmen, a high school outsider on a mission to fit in at all costs in college. She was a producer on the Netflix series “Neon” created by Shea Serrano and a co-producer on the Apple TV series “Shrinking” with Jason Segel, Brett Goldstein and Bill Lawrence. She has written on “English Teacher” (FX), “What We Do In The Shadows” (S4 & S5, Hulu/FX), “Betty” (S2, HBO) and “Sprung” (Freevee). Baram was a Just For Laughs “New Faces” for stand-up comedy and made her late-night debut on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” (CBS). Baram performs regularly at clubs and venues across the country. Her comedy brings a unique perspective on the strange banalities of entering the adult world as well as growing up with a strong multi-cultural/Mexican-Syrian identity. She is also, unfortunately, Gen-Z.
