Josh Sneed Tickets

Josh sneed tour tickets.

Let go of all your worries for the evening as you join in on contagious laughter after you purchase Josh Sneed tickets. The Cincinnati-born comedian didn’t always know he wanted to be a comedian. After spending nearly four years working for Procter & Gamble, he began developing a passion for performing stand-up. He started off doing shows at local clubs, such as at Go Bananas. Before long, he made his “Just For Laughs” debut in Montreal, QC. There, he gained a significant following and attracted the attention of other renowned comics.

He made his first television appearance on Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend.” Sneed’s comedy style was so impressive that Comedy Central selected him to perform at their South Beach Comedy Festival in 2007. That same year, he starred in his own half-hour comedy special, “Comedy Central Presents: Josh Sneed.” Since then, he’s competed in several competitions. One of his most successful contests was the 2008 Annual Stand-up Showdown Competition, where he finished in 2 nd place out of 100.

2024 seven-round NFL Mock Draft: Patriots lean heavily on offense, Cardinals take opposite approach

The draft is now less than one week away.

For several months, NFL media has been focused on first-round mock draft projections but those are just 32 of the 257 names that will be called over a three-day period in Detroit starting April 25. It is time to learn the names of Day 2 and late-round draft prospects as they could one day make an impact in the NFL playoffs, just as Brock Purdy, L'Jarius Sneed and others have before them. 

Without further ado, let's kick this off!

For more draft coverage, you can hear in-depth analysis twice a week on  "With the First Pick"  -- our year-round  NFL Draft  podcast with  NFL Draft  analyst Ryan Wilson and former  Vikings  general manager Rick Spielman. You can find "With the First Pick" wherever you get your podcasts:  Apple Podcasts ,  Spotify ,  YouTube , etc.

Zendaya, Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist discuss Challengers's love triangle between tennis stars

In love triangle dramedy Challengers, the main love of Zendaya's character Tashi isn't her husband Art (Mike Faist) nor is it her ex-boyfriend and Art's former friend/doubles partner Patrick (Josh O'Connor).

It's tennis – and she'll do anything to get a good rally going, especially after a college injury college dashes her chances at going pro.

"[Tennis] got taken away from her way too early," Zendaya tells ABC Entertainment.

"And she never really got to mourn the loss of her life, and career, everything that she didn't get to have. And I think it's taking a bigger toll on her than she really expected."

Gesturing towards co-stars O'Connor and Faist, she adds, "These men are her avenues to keep herself above water and to keep her life, so she won't have to deal with the fact that she's kind of miserable and sad about a lot of things and should probably go to therapy. It's much easier to use them."

Challengers's tense love triangle jumps back and forth over 13 years, seeing an injured Tashi take on Art as both husband and protégée, coaching him to success and brand deals while Patrick's potential fizzles out.

"What she ended up doing is finding someone, or choosing someone, that she thinks is malleable enough to get her close to her true want – tennis," adds Zendaya.

"It's sad and it's painful, because it's someone she cares about and loves."

As Art's interest and world-ranking falls, Tashi signs him up for a low-stakes ATP Challenger Tour as a wildcard, so he'll regain confidence by besting easy targets. No surprises for guessing who he ends up against, in a match more meaningful than any Grand Slam win.

"There's this envy-jealousy thing with Patrick at the beginning, where [Art] wishes he could have his skill set and ability," says Faist. "And same with Tashi, as well."

Blurred lines on and off court

Fitting snugly within director Luca Guadagnino's ( Call Me By Your Name , A Bigger Splash, Bones and All ) filmography, the film's through-line is sinewy, relentless desire, where affection and antagonism blur together.

Patrick and Art's attraction to each other only becomes explicit once — with the two preferring to express their feelings via their mutual obsessive desires, tennis and Tashi. When a teenage Tashi invites them both into bed, she leans back from their three-way kisses with a smile, letting them have at each other.

Patrick continually peacocks for attention, whether approaching Art nude in a sauna or suggestively eating a banana side-court, a moment O'Connor says was inspired by Australia's Nick Kyrgios, who was fined in 2018 for stimulating masturbation on his water bottle and squirting water during a match break.

Patrick and Art's tension has no interest in subtext, and neither does the film, which sees Tashi compare tennis to sex.

While Challengers bursts with energy across its 131-minute run time, the matches are frenetic highlights – a series of grunts and groans and extreme close-ups of the actor's sweat-soaked faces with slow motion drips, before the camera takes the place of the ball, fired back-and-forth furiously.

All the while, throbbing techno pulses in and out from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, rendering Art and Patrick's leaps, lobs and whacks into a depraved late-night dance, a courtship for each other.

It's hyper-erotic to the point of parody, as the film is enveloped by the trio's seductive, intense dynamic, with Zendaya joking Challengers's tagline should be "Co-dependency: The Movie".

This dynamic leads all three to some contemptuous behaviour that's very fun to watch, provided audiences don't get caught on their moral compasses. At the world premiere in Sydney, attended by the three leads, Zendaya asked audiences to not judge Tashi too much – an impulse O'Connor says he understands.

"You don't just play a villain – when you're playing [one], you have to believe they're doing the right thing," he says.

"There are times when I felt for Patrick. He just really wants his best friend back, and he really is in love with this person. And he wants to be a successful tennis player. All those things, all those wants."

The Zendaya effect

Zendaya's star power only seems to be accumulating, as she moves from her days as a Disney star to top-billed roles in Spider-Man, HBO series Euphoria and Dune.

Challengers also marks the 27-year-old's first producer credit for a cinematic release. Without existing IP to bring in audiences, the film is banking on audiences being drawn in by Zendaya's name, something the star is happy to leverage if it means interesting work gets made.

"I want more stories like this, things that are dynamic and entertaining, but also emotional and complicated," she says.

"With complicated, fascinating, kind of terrifying characters that are nuanced – and with great filmmakers, and great actors and people that I enjoy working with."

Challengers is now in cinemas.

Berlin-based Picture Tree Intl. has acquired the international sales rights, excluding the Nordic countries, for the Finnish daughter-father comedy “Butterflies” (Perhoset).

“Butterflies” is directed by Jenni Toivoniemi , based on a screenplay by Anna Brotkin.

Set against the backdrop of Finland’s vibrant Tango Festival, “Butterflies” follows the journey of Siiri, a world-weary 29-year-old woman, and her relentlessly optimistic father, Petri, as they navigate their own truths amidst the chaos. Ultimately, the true dance they engage in is one of self-discovery.

Popular on Variety

Toivoniemi wrote and directed the shorts “The Committee” and “The Date,” co-wrote features “Korso” and “Sihja – The Rebel Fairy,” and made her feature film debut as a director with “Games People Play” and the comedy series “Carpe F*cking Diem.” “Butterflies” is her second feature film as a director.

Other titles handled by Picture Tree Intl. include “Stormskerry Maja,” “Grand Finale,” “The Best Is Yet to Come!,” “Everything’s Fifty Fifty,” “Raptures” and “Unsinkable.”

Apparently some lady named Taylor has a new album — or two. We’re still trying to make sense of “Tortured Poets Department,” and the staff here has been noting the growing debate on the topic of T. Swift overexposure. If you’d like to share an amusing haiku on the subject, send it our way ! And then dive into our rundown of the brightest spots on L.A.’s cultural landscape this week ...

Best bets: What’s on our radar

You’re reading Essential Arts

Our critics and reporters guide you through events and happenings of L.A.

You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times.

1. Festival of Books How soul-satisfying to start off with an event dedicated to the art of the written word? The Los Angeles Times’ annual Festival of Books is back for another weekend jampacked with readings, panel discussions and signings. All things literary will be celebrated by more than 550 guests including Maggie Nelson, Jonathan Lethem, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Octavia Spencer, RuPaul, David Mamet and Ariana Madix. If cookbooks are your thing, the chef’s stage is back featuring Nancy Silverton and others. Through Sunday. USC. events.latimes.com/festivalofbooks/ — Jessica Gelt

2. TCM Classic Film Festival Movie lovers who thrill to the gentle salt-and-pepper authority of TV host Ben Mankiewicz may have already paid a visit to this festival, perhaps to see the world premiere of the Imax version of David Fincher’s “Seven.” ( “What’s in the box?” Those people know.) The fest rolls on through the weekend and the Hollywood essentials keep coming. Our Saturday picks include a gargantuan presentation of Alfred Hitchcock’s immortal thriller “North by Northwest” at the TCL Chinese; those free on Sunday should dive into John Ford’s peak 1956 Western “The Searchers” at the Egyptian. Through Sunday. Various theaters. filmfestival.tcm.com — Joshua Rothkopf

3. “Prelude to a Kiss” After adapting his beloved, body-swapping play into an Alec Baldwin-Meg Ryan movie , Craig Lucas is transforming the piece into a stage musical, with sweeping, emotional songs by Daniel Messé and Sean Hartley. Hannah Corneau and Chris McCarrell star in the bittersweet romantic comedy as the newlywed couple, with Jonathan Gillard Daly as the mysterious older man who asks the bride for that magical peck. Directed by David Ivers, this new take is making its world premiere at South Coast Repertory, the same theater where the Tony-nominated play originally debuted in 1988 . Through May 4, South Coast Repertory, 655 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa. scr.org — Ashley Lee

4. “Vanya” Andrew Scott may forever be remembered as the Hot Priest from “Fleabag.” As Tim Ripley in the Netflix series “Ripley,” Scott proves that villainy comes as naturally as vulnerability. And his lead performance in Andrew Haigh’s “All of Us Strangers” was the best film acting I saw last year. But I will always think of him first as a stage virtuoso, someone whose Hamlet was perhaps the most psychologically exact I’ve experienced. Undaunted by the toughest of challenges, he single-handedly takes on Anton Chekhov’s masterpiece of middle-aged malaise, “Uncle Vanya.” L.A theater lovers will get the chance to see his acclaimed London solo performance in Simon Stephens’ radical adaptation at one of the National Theatre Live screenings courtesy of L.A. Theatre Works. 3 p.m. April 28. UCLA James Bridges Theater, Melnitz Hall, 235 Charles E. Young Drive East, Westwood. latw.org/hd-screenings — Charles McNulty

5. Hear Now Music Festival The annual new-music fest has its most ambitious program yet with dozens of pieces by composers of string quartets, chamber music, orchestral works, even experimental electronic music. The venues are just as broad, ranging from funky 2020 Arts + Archives in the Westlake district to Frankie in Boyle Heights to UCLA. Among the performers are the Lyris Quartet, Brightwork Ensemble and, boldly stretching geography, the International Contemporary Ensemble from New York. Wednesday through April 28 . Various locations. hearnowmusicfestival.com — Mark Swed

The biggest L.A. culture news

Copper thieves have been at it again, and this time the target hits close to home: The bronze statue of a newsboy accompanying Harrison Gray Otis , owner of a newspaper that would become the Los Angeles Times, was stolen from MacArthur Park. Staff writer Thomas Curwen reports that the bronze was most likely melted down for its valuable copper content and is part of a wave of attacks on public art that one official said was unprecedented in her 27 years with the Department of Cultural Affairs.

Staff writer Kaitlyn Huamani looks at how one organization is trying to commemorate history in a different way: a walking audio tour. California Migration Museum , a program sponsored by the San Francisco-based nonprofit Independent Arts & Media, has produced an interactive tour of the Olvera Street area, exploring the history of the La Placita raid that ultimately led to the deportation of as many as 1.8 million Mexican Americans across the country in the 1930s.

In happier art news, critic Christopher Knight lays out why the Camille Claudel exhibition at the Getty is so magnificent. Check out the review, which tells you everything you didn’t know you should know about one sculpture’s chopped knee .

Classical music critic Mark Swed looks at two phenomena in his world. He reflects on the appointment of 28-year-old Finnish conductor Klaus Mäkelä as music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra — and the hopes and hazards of the classical world’s quest to anoint its next phenom in the footsteps of Gustavo Dudamel.

Swed also looks at Los Angeles Opera ‘s attempts to make opera more accessible , including taking opera our of the opera house. He asks: If Lakers tickets cost more, why does opera still get slapped with the “elitist” label?

Ahead of the Netflix Is a Joke comedy festival next month, contributor Rachel Brodsky profiled Leslie Liao, who is successfully making the leap from working in the streamer’s HR department to performing stand-up in its L.A. comedy extravaganza .

Other stage news: Director Jon M. Chu will helm a Broadway musical based on Kevin Kwan ’s “Crazy Rich Asians” trilogy. Staff writer Alexandria Del Rosario has the deets . Meanwhile, the musical “Sunset Boulevard” was the big winner in London at the Olivier Awards .

The Christian St. Croix play “Monsters of the American Cinema” had its Los Angeles premiere at the Matrix Theatre in a Rogue Machine production. Critic Charles McNulty offers his review of work with intriguing horror movie dimensions .

That’s a good segue to note some news on the film front: Staff writer Mark Olsen notes that the Sundance Film Festival took another step toward leaving its longtime home in Park City, Utah.

In the meantime, Hollywood will keep on Hollywooding, and “The Fall Guy” starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt already has folks buzzing a couple of weeks before its opening in theaters. Staff writer Josh Rottenberg has an exclusive on the movie’s amazing practical stunts, which are quite possibly the best argument to add an Oscar category for stunt performers .

And we may have joked about Swift’s new albums, but you can read critic Mikael Wood ‘s take on what sounds like seriously compelling music . And staff writer August Brown has the obituary for Dickey Betts , founding member of the Allman Brothers Band , who died Thursday at 80.
