Comedian and actor Tracy Morgan will be making his first headlining stand-up appearance in Atlanta in seven years at the Tabernacle May 6.

Tickets go on sale this week. Prices are not yet available.

Morgan, the “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock” alum, also starred in the popular TBS comedy “The Last O.G.” from 2018 to 2021. His last on-screen film credit was “Coming 2 America,” which was shot in Atlanta and released on Amazon Prime in 2021.

His more recent headlining concert in Atlanta was in 2016 at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, two years after he was seriously injured when a truck crashed into his minibus. He sued Walmart and settled out of court. The truck driver, who was from Jonesboro, received no jail time but paid fines and did community service.
