The standup performance will take place on Friday, January 23 at 8:00 PM at The Fillmore Miami Beach at Jackie Gleason Theater.

The series kicked off last fall with a conversation-style event with Larry David and David Steinberg live in Los Angeles, and a standup performance by Seth Meyers in San Francisco.
"The Citi comedy series kicked off last year and has quickly become a favorite among our extensive entertainment offers for Citi cardmembers," said Jennifer Breithaupt, SVP of Entertainment Marketing for Citi. "Seth Meyers delivered a hilarious set for our customers in San Francisco last November, and we're excited that the show will be heading south this winter to Miami."
