Heather McMahan

Heather McMahan will bring The Bamboozled Tour to the Beacon Theatre on Friday, May 30.

Heather McMahan is an actress, stand-up and podcaster (Absolutely Not! with Heather McMahan) whose first special, “Son I Never Had!” (Netflix) debuted in October 2023 at Number 4 and held a top 10 position for 7 days. McMahan went back on the road with “The Comeback Tour,” her second national tour which comes on the heels of her sold-out show at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall. The wildly popular comedian released her new stand-up special, Breadwinner, which premiered on Hulu on October 11th. Filmed during two sold-out nights at Atlanta’s historic Fox Theatre, the same venue where McMahan recently wrapped up her massively successful global The Comeback Tour, the special is a hilarious tribute to her Southern roots.  

Described by The Hollywood Reporter as an “auditory David Sedaris for the millennial set,” McMahan is known for her authenticity and broad humor. Named to Variety’s 2022 Comedy Impact Report, Heather was one of the featured female comedians to perform on “Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin: Ladies Night Live” (Netflix) earning Fonda’s admiration, and subsequently, hosting Fonda’s star-studded 85th birthday celebratory fundraiser. 

McMahan is currently developing a half-hour pilot based on her life for NBC. Previously, she starred opposite Nina Dobrev and Jimmy O. Yang in “Love Hard,” which reached #1 in audience popularity on Netflix worldwide during its first 5 days of release. Beloved by the Today Show, Heather has guest-hosted the show’s fourth hour subbing for host Hoda Kotb alongside Jenna Bush Hager. 

A native of Atlanta, GA, McMahan studied at UCB in Los Angeles and was a performing arts major at Ole Miss.
