Comedian Dave Dugan to Perform at Jasper's Astra Theatre April 18

Comedian Dave Dugan will headline a clean-comedy show at the Astra Theatre in downtown Jasper, with doors at 7:30 p.m. and the performance beginning at 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 18, 2026. The Astra’s promotional materials and event listings identify the show as a headline performance intended for local audiences seeking family-friendly comedy.

Tickets are being offered through the Astra Theatre’s official website, and the event is also listed on third-party platforms Eventbrite and Vivid Seats. The Eventbrite listing carries a clear refund policy listed as "No refunds." Vivid Seats markets resale and loyalty features and promotes its "100% Buyer Guarantee" and numeric "Deal Score" system; those are Vivid Seats’ own claims about its marketplace. Dave Dugan’s corporate website, by contrast, displays a placeholder reading "TICKETS AND MORE INFO SOON!" rather than a direct sales link at the time of capture.

Eventbrite lists Hoss Ridgeway as a supporting act, billing the show as "Dave Dugan w/ Hoss Ridgeway - Live at The Astra," and identifies WRZR as the presenting organization. Local promotion for Astra’s 2026 season references The Next Act, Inc. as the producing organization; as the Dubois County press put it, "In addition to sharing the evening with Scriptless in Seattle, The Next Act, Inc. invites you to join them at The Astra for future 2026 events."

Dugan’s promotional materials and listings emphasize national credits. Event listings note Dugan is a regular on the Bob & Tom Show with more than 250 appearances, has a Dry Bar Comedy special titled "HUMAN CANNONBALL," and has been seen on HBO, Comedy Central and FOX. Eventbrite reproduces a Los Angeles Times line praising his style: "Clean humor with imaginative angles. A very engaging comedian who is also extremely quick on his feet!" The Eventbrite listing also recounts a charity world-record stunt in which Dugan drove 1,001 laps around a roundabout, a fundraiser that "helped raise thousands for cancer programs and services," and includes Dugan’s self-deprecating line about awards: "it is the only award I have ever won, unless you count Honorable Mention for my 5th Grade science fair project The Digestive System."

The Astra Theatre, located at 517 Main Street, Jasper, IN 47546, is described in local promotion as a newly renovated, historic venue with 357 seats, offering main-level and balcony seating and a concessions stand serving snacks, local craft and domestic beer, and wine. The smaller, renovated house makes the event a compact downtown draw that can concentrate patrons into nearby businesses and support Main Street activity on an otherwise typical April weekend.

For residents planning to attend, confirm ticket availability on the Astra Theatre website and note Eventbrite’s "No refunds" policy on its listing; third-party resale options are available through Vivid Seats. For booking or promotional inquiries, Dave Dugan’s listed contacts include corpcomedy@lightbound.com and davedugancomedy@gmail.com, and his merchandise includes a CD titled Dugans Aren't Losers for $15 plus shipping. The show offers Jasper an evening of nationally credited, clean comedy in a renovated downtown venue and will test demand for intimate live entertainment as Astra’s 2026 season continues.
