If you think the downtown arena is too big a venue for a guy talking to puppets, think again.

Dunham set a Guinness World Record for most tickets sold on a stand-up comedy tour when 1,981,720 paying fans turned out for his “Spark of Insanity” tour from 2007 to 2010.

He was No. 9 on Forbes’ 2017 list of the highest-paid comedians, raking in more than $15 million.

Dunham has done multiple shows for Comedy Central, and he released a Netflix special, “Relative Disaster,” last year.
