Adam Sandler is coming to FedExForum. Here's when and how to get tickets

In a rare Memphis appearance, Adam Sandler — the standup comic and "Saturday Night Live" cast member turned superstar movie comedian — will perform Nov. 16 at FedExForum.

Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday at noon. "Presale" is at noon Thursday via Live Nation, the concert company, which announced the tour Wednesday.

The Memphis show is part of a 25-city North American tour that begins Oct. 12 in Vancouver and concludes Dec. 12 in Denver. FedExForum will be Sandler's only Southern stop on the tour (unless one counts San Antonio, Texas) which means the Memphis show could draw fans from across the region.

In an acknowledgment that Sandler's recent decades have been more devoted to movies than to concerts, the new tour is titled "The I Missed You Tour."

Sandler has not made many appearances in Memphis. In 1995, he performed at the University of Memphis Elma Roane Fieldhouse. Tickets were $7 each. Ticket prices for the FedExForum show were not announced Wednesday, but they are likely to be many, many times the cost of Elma Roane admission.

Sandler, 57, first found fame as a cast member of "Saturday Night Live," from 1990 to 1995. His popularity led to concert tours and several hit albums and novelty singles (he introduced "The Chanukah Song" in 1994). He parlayed his success into a series of extraordinarily successful movies, starting in the 1990s with "Billy Madison" and "Happy Gilmore." His Happy Madison Productions company also produced films for Sandler's comedian friends, such as David Spade and Kevin James. More recently, Sandler has been involved in the "Hotel Transylvania" animation franchise, and has produced and starred in movies for Netflix, such as "The Ridiculous 6" and "Hubie Halloween."

Although his box office receipts generally have outpaced his critical kudos, Sandler this year was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, an award presented by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington. The honor puts him in the company of such laugh luminaries as Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Neil Simon and Lily Tomlin.
