Stavvy’s coming home for the holidays.

Stavros Halkias, the comedian and Baltimore native, said Wednesday he’s planning a two-night appearance at Lyric Baltimore to coincide with the Thanksgiving holiday.

His pitch: “Avoid your family and spend Thanksgiving weekend with me!”

The pair of “Home for the Holidays” shows are scheduled for Nov. 29 and Nov. 30. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at LiveNation.com.

Halkias last performed in Baltimore in October, when he packed the Lyric for six homecoming shows on his “Fat Rascal” tour. The stand-up special is now on Netflix.

The comedian, who grew up in Greektown, also hosts a podcast called “Stavvy’s World” and is known for posting Instagram videos as “Ronnie,” a Ravens-loving character who offers profane reactions to the team’s highs and lows during football season.

Halkias is leaning into film and television work, as well. He recently appeared in Steven Soderbergh’s sci-fi series “Command Z” and stars in “Let’s Start a Cult,” a comedy he co-wrote that’s slated to be released later this year.
