Tony Baker

Tony Baker is playing Helium & Elements Restaurant in St. Louis for three nights: Friday, March 19, Saturday, March 20, and Sunday, March 21, 2027. Each show starts at 7 PM.

If you've come across his clips online, you'll recognize the way he talks. Baker is a stand-up comedian, actor, and social media personality who built his following around a specific brand of humor and a collection of 'Bakerisms'—phrases like 'Skibbity Paps,' 'Cram,' and 'Look At Who Ya Came To See' that have become part of his act. He grew up in Chicago and found performance during college, eventually trading the theater for the comedy stage.

He's been working the circuit for a while. He headlined The Bald Brothers tour, which is now streaming as the special Bald Brothers: A Freestyle Comedy Show on Tubi, and he built a cult following with his debut stand-up special, Scaredy Cat. His screen work covers a fair bit of ground: Marlon Wayans Presents The Headliners on HBO, The Carmichael Show, HBO's All DEF Comedy, and Black Lady Sketch Show. He was also a two-time finalist on NBC's Last Comic Standing during seasons 8 and 9.

More recently, he landed a cameo opposite Keke Palmer and SZA in One of Them Days in 2025 and was nominated for Outstanding Social Media Personality at the 56th NAACP Image Awards. One thing to keep in mind before you go: the show will be filmed, so you might end up as part of the crowd on camera. He's playing three nights in a row at Helium & Elements Restaurant, all starting at 7 PM on March 19, 20, and 21.
