One of the bigger comedy nights on the Inland Empire calendar this fall is less than a week away, and it is happening just south of Rancho Cucamonga.

Comedian Martin Lawrence brings his arena tour to Toyota Arena in Ontario on Friday, November 20.

The arena's event page lists doors at 7 p.m. and the show at 8 p.m.

A five-comedian bill

The tour is billed as the Y'All Still Know What It Is! Tour.

Lawrence is the headliner, but he is not the only name on the bill.

The arena lists four supporting acts: Nate Jackson, Karlous Miller, Loni Love and Benji Brown.

That lineup makes the night closer to a full comedy showcase than a single headlining set.

The Ontario date is presented by ICON Live, according to an event listing from radio station 94.7 The Wave.

Tickets and parking

Tickets went on sale to the general public in late July and are sold through Ticketmaster, the arena says.

The arena's page did not list prices, so check the official ticket listing for current availability and cost.

Buying through the venue's official ticket link is the surest way to avoid resale markups and invalid tickets.

Parking can be purchased in advance through the arena's website.

The venue encourages guests to do that early, noting that day-of parking rates are higher.

For questions about bags, cameras and other house rules, the arena points visitors to the A-Z guide on its website.

A busy week at the arena

The comedy show lands in the middle of a crowded stretch at Toyota Arena.

The Ontario Reign hockey team has home games there on Wednesday, November 18, Saturday, November 21, and Sunday, November 22, the arena's calendar shows.

Anyone planning dinner nearby before the show should leave extra time for traffic and parking around the arena.

Staying closer to home

Rancho Cucamonga has its own Friday night option on November 20.

The Lewis Family Playhouse is hosting a screening of the movie CLUE with special guest Lesley Ann Warren from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., according to the city's event calendar.
