After Kevin Hart eclipsed him in ticket sales<\/a> last year, Jeff Dunham<\/a> now has the last laugh. The ventriloquist dominated the industry and ends his year atop the list of best-selling comedians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A perennial fan-favorite, Dunham secured his top comic status thanks to his extensive touring schedule. His Passively Aggressive<\/em> and Seriously?!?<\/em> tours provided dozens of shows throughout the past 12 months. Additionally, Dunham routinely headlines arenas, giving him a leg-up against his fellow comics who frequent theaters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But venue size did not hinder Jerry Seinfeld<\/a>. The massively popular funnyman – a mainstay at mid-size theaters – pulled impressive sales figures to trail only Dunham on the year-end list. However, it’s worth noting that Jerry Seinfeld tickets are significantly higher than Dunham and many other comics on the list. Fans paid $177 on average to see the star perform, the second-highest price tag of the year’s 20 best-selling comedians. Dave Chappelle notched the highest average ticket cost per show at $209.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other big names making the cut include Daily Show<\/em> host Trevor Noah, Adam Sandler for his 100% Fresh Tour<\/a>, and Parks and Recreation<\/em>‘s Nick Offerman and Aziz Ansari. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
