Comedian’s Road to Nowhere tour visits Hollywood on April 20.

Comedian Aziz Ansari will bring his Road to Nowhere tour to the Hard Rock Event Center at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood on April 20.

Reserved-seat tickets will cost $127.50, $92.50, $72.50 and $52.50 and go on sale at noon Friday, Nov. 30, at MyHRL.com (with its 360-degree virtual seat map) and all Ticketmast­er outlets, including Ticketmast­er.com and by calling 800-745-3000. A Ticketmast­er Verified Fan presale will be held 10 a.m.-noon Friday.

Best known as the star, writer and co-creator of the Emmy-winning Netflix comedy “Master of None,” which followed his breakout role on “Parks and Recreation,” Ansari will be making a comeback of sorts with this tour.

The 35-year-old performer has been out of the spotlight since January, when a woman accused Ansari of ignoring her cues, verbal and nonverbal, that she was uncomforta­ble with his physical advances after a dinner date. Ansari has said he believed the activity “by all indication­s was completely consensual.”

In a statement made through his publicist, Ansari said the woman’s account left him “surprised and concerned. I took her words to heart and responded privately after taking the time to process what she had said. … I continue to support the [Time’s Up] movement that is happening in our culture. It is necessary and long overdue.”
