What did the Founding Fathers say to each other when they saw John Hancock's enormous signature on the Declaration of Independence? How did the needle feel when it was found in the haystack? How did Thursday react when it found out Tuesday was chosen to be the day for tacos?

Jake Shane made his fame on TikTok with short skits about these and other historical or imaginary moments.

Now, he's heading Phoenix's way on the second leg of his Live With Jake Shane Tour. He'll appear on May 23 at Arizona Financial Theatre.

Shane's TikTok account went viral in 2023. In 2024, he was featured on Forbes' 30 Under 30 List and began his podcast, "Therapuss With Jake Shane." Shane released his debut comedy album, “Puss & Poems," in November.
