WASHINGTON, July 7 (UPI) -- Popular Internet comedy website Funny or Die will hit the road again this year with Amy Schumer and Aziz Ansari for its third-annual comedy tour.

The two headlining comics -- Shumer being described as the "special guest" -- have both met frequent success in the last year. Ansari recently published a buzz-worthy book, Modern Romance, and has reportedly agreed to produce an original Netflix comedy series, maintaining his partnership with the streaming service.
Schumer recently admitted that she turned down an offer to replace Jon Stewart on The Daily Show because she felt she could still do more -- and she has. The actress and comedian is the executive producer, writer and star of of her own Comedy Central show Inside Amy Schumer and wrote the screenplay for her newest film Trainwreck, co-starring Bill Hader and LeBron James.
Oddball Festival tickets will start at around $25 and hike up to $400 for VIP packages including optimum seating, access to a special club section and gift bags. Tickets for the show go on sale Friday, July 10 on Live Nation.
Additional performances will include those by Anthony Jeselnik, Ashley Barnhill, Bridget Everett, Dave Attell, Jay Pharoah, Jeff Ross, Jim Norton, John Mulaney, Michael Che, Nick Kroll, Nick Thune, Nikki Glaser, Rachel Feinstein, Rory Scovel, Sebastian Maniscalco, Tim Minchin, T.J. Miller and Todd Barry.
