Christmas is coming early this year.
From Nov. 30 through Dec. 28, comedian Chevy Chase and his wife Jayni are embarking on a brief three-show tour where they’ll screen “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” in Medford, MA, Newark, NJ and Milwaukee, WI.
At all stops on the quick trek, the classic 1989 film will be followed by behind-the-scenes stories and an audience Q&A where fans can ask questions about Chase’s tenure on “Saturday Night Live” as well as his star turns in “Caddyshack,” “Fletch,” “Three Amigos” and more.
And if you buy today, you’ll certainly have money left over this holiday season since tickets are so affordably priced.
At the time of publication, we found some going for as low as $51 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Other shows start in the $70 to $80 range.

Chevy Chase controversy
Over the years, Chase has stirred up trouble with comedians in his circle.
In 1978, he engaged in fisticuffs with fellow ‘SNL’ cast member Bill Murray backstage in John Belushi’s dressing room.
Decades later, Chase was banned from hosting “Saturday Night Live” after a number of incidents where he derided ‘Not Ready For Primetime Players’ and writers with homophobic and sexist slurs; he also reportedly slapped Cheri Oteri in the back of the head.
This century, the now 79-year-old comic starred in NBC’s “Community” until the fourth season when they cut him loose. Chase allegedly verbally abused Donald Glover with a barrage of racist insults and slurs which led to the firing.
