Last year, real life married comedians Natasha Leggero and Moshe Kasher went on tour as part of their honeymoon. They not only captured their journey in a web series, but offered other couples sincere, but still hilarious, advice on how they might better their relationships.
So, Natasha and Moshe are embarking again across North America on what is now called “The Endless Honeymoon Tour” this summer.
We guess if you can keep the “honeymoon phase” going, the magic doesn’t stop, right?
Following the announcement of his show returning and the premiere of his HBO special, May has been pretty great to Gethard fans.

CAKE Comedy Now Using Kickstarter to Tour City by City
Carrie Gravenson, Abbi Crutchfield, Kaytlin Bailey, and Erin Judge, otherwise known as CAKE Comedy, having been touring together across the U.S. since 2012.
Now that it’s 2017, they’re looking to streamline their touring model via Kickstarter.
Basically, they’ll be selling tickets for a show directly through Kickstarter and if they meet their goal, a pretty great show will happen. If not, everyone walks away with no cost to them and then CAKE Comedy can move on to the next show.
Their first show that they’re crowdfunding is in Philadelphia on April 24th, but their deadline to raise money is 12 days away (as of this post). They’ve got $577 raised out of the $1000 goal.
Please support them as you’ll be supporting independent live comedy, women in comedy, and overall good comedy.
Josh Fadem & Dicker Troy (Johnny Pemberton as a truck driver/DJ/wiseman with a modulated voice) is one of the funniest things going on in LA right now (you can catch them at the end of the month in LA at The Satellite).
So, if you’re in SF, Portland, Vancouver or Seattle in February, do not miss a show that’s equal parts whimsy, chaos, tomfoolery, alternate dimensions, slapstick, and jokes.

LA Trump vs. Bernie kicks off the tour – more dates soon! https://t.co/MvqSz0Knvu
One of the absolute best comedic takes from the upcoming presidential election is the birth of master impressionists Anthony Atamanuik and James Adomian debating each other as presidential candidates Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, respectively.
Officially in the election year, we’re glad to hear that they’re not only going to continue doing their hysterical, pitch perfect debates, but they are going to tour the country with it. Already, they’re kicking it off at Riot LA on Jan. 30th
They’ll also be stopping in Philadelphia’s World Cafe Live on Feb. 15th.
More dates and cities are to be announced and you should not miss your chance to see this before it might happen in real life with the real Trump and Bernie.
One of the dates will be on the opening night of Riot LA.
It has been quite some time since we’ve seen the force that is David Cross on stage with a mic. In fact, his last tour was all the way back in 2009. Since then, he’s appeared on stage here and there between Arrested Development, Todd Margaret, Hits, With Bob & David, and a multitude of other projects he has been involved in over the last several years.
That being said, he’s going on a tour and doing his duty as a comedian by trolling Donald Trump while he’s at it. Called the Making America Great Again! (which is Donald’s campaign slogan in case you haven’t watched TV or been on the Internet at all in the last few months) tour, Cross will travel across the U.S. and perform from January of next year through April.
Specific dates and cities have yet to be announced, but the one show that you can buy tickets for is the very first night of the Riot LA Comedy Festival on Fri. Jan. 29th at 8PM where David will be playing the Theatre at the Ace Hotel.

If you’re in a “tourist-oriented” city next year, chances are you might get to see Kaufman and Foxx as holograms.
Hologram USA is showing how much they can do with holograms these days by having the holographic likenesses of Andy Kaufman and Redd Foxx not only doing their most highly regarded bits, but reenacting scenes from their lives based on their biographies.
They’ll play several times a day, not unlike The Hall of Presidents at Disneyland, in various cities where folks might be curious to see what this hologram business is all about.
If this goes well, expect more hologram of famous comedians going around in what could be a sort-of wax museum of the 21st century.
Adult Swim is defying expectations again with taking a drive-in theater tour across the U.S., a thing of many yesteryears ago.
Unaired and never before seen episodes, pilots etc. will be screened at the Adult Swim Drive-In while you watch from the comfort of your own car in front of a gigantic screen.
Best of all, it’s free to attend once you RSVP.
