Surviving a freak car fire last year somehow didn’t stop 72-year-old comedian Jay Leno.
Apparently, neither did a dangerous motorcycle accident that left him with several broken bones.
Rather than rest and recuperate, the former “Tonight Show” host will fulfill his tour date obligations and perform to audiences all over North America at his 15 shows from Feb. 2 through April 8 which include gigs at Salamanca, NY’s Seneca Allegany Events Center on March 18 and Englewood, NJ’s Bergen Performing Arts Center on April 8.
And you needn’t fear — Leno claims he’s fine.
“I’m OK,” Leno told the Las Vegas Review Journal. I’m working. I’m working this weekend.”
While you might think tickets would cost an exorbitant amount to see this death-defying, septuagenarian comedy legend, we’re happy to report that that’s not always the case.
In fact, we found some tickets going for as low as $58 before fees on Vivid Seats at the time of publication.
All prices are subject to fluctuation.
Now, here’s everything you need to know about how you can see Jay Leno live in 2023.

Jay Leno injuries
As noted earlier, Leno sustained major injuries after two car accidents this year.
In mid-December, a car garage explosion, left him serious facial burns.
“The fuel line was clogged, so I was underneath it,” Leno, 72, explained to Hoda Kotb in an NBC News “Today” show interview.
“And I said, ‘Blow some air through the line.’ And suddenly, boom, I got a face full of gas.”
More recently, he disclosed that he got knocked off his motorcycle.
He then disclosed he has a “a broken collarbone…two broken ribs (and) two cracked kneecaps.”
Still, he was able to joke about it.
Whether his punchline is any good is up to the eye of the beholder.
