You might have heard that SNL cast member Brooks Wheelan was recently let go from SNL, but we would hope you know that Brooks is a really funny stand-up. In fact, that’s how he got noticed in the first place.
Now, he’s going on tour or “falling back (sorta)” to do that very thing that got him to a SNL audition.
From now through November, he’ll be stopping by Montreal, NYC, Amsterdam, Connecticut, Indiana, Seattle, LA, and St. Louis. Brooks says, “Go to my bad website for details.”

Eddie Izzard To Do Force Majeure in 3 Languages
Eddie Izzard can perform his latest show in English, French, and German and is going to do so all in one evening in France. We’re simultaneously amazed at the prospect of that and disgusted at our linguistic skills that can only be used in ordering tacos at food truck.
Dave Ross Is Going on Nationwide Tour
This spring, Dave Ross is coming to a city near you to perform stand-up. Seriously, he’s playing 42 different cities. You’re probably near one of them, so you’ll probably have a chance to see him from April through to the end of May and we highly recommend doing that because Dave is pretty damn funny.
For you Angelenos, you’ll be happy to know he’s also headlining the Hollywood Improv at the end of it.
It’s great that Broad City will be getting another season at Comedy Central, but that does mean they have to put their live tour on hold. Ilana and Abbi are really sorry about it, but promise that they will honor tickets that have already been purchased at future dates. All this should mean is that it will be all the more special because of the longer time that we have to wait.
In fact, the dates for their fall tour have already been set, so make/remake your plans now.

From Philadelphia to Chicago to Austin to Denver to Seattle to LA and so many other places in between and beyond, Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson of Broad City are touring live throughout the U.S.
As far as comedy tours go these days, that’s pretty extensive and it leaves little reason to not catch one of these shows (i.e. they’re really funny and one of the cities on the tour is probably reasonably close to you)
The Eric Andre Show is going on tour starting tomorrow throughout the U.S. and is doing a giveaway where you can not only win Eric Andre-esque prizes like masks and ponchos, but also a iPad Mini Tablet with a personal message from Eric himself, which we’re guessing is going to be life changing whatever it ends up being.
Oh yeah, you should probably go check out the tour at a city near you for some of the most hilarious insane tomfoolery you’ll see on either side of the Mississippi (check for updates at EricAndreTour.com, Twitter w/hashtag #ericandretour, Facebook, or Tumblr)

Jimmy Fallon is going on a six city tour across the U.S. with the humorous stylings of, as said above, Julian McCullough, Nate Bargatze, and Nick Thune in October and then later in December.
Maybe Thune and Fallon will play a tune together or something?
In this promo, Brody Stevens gives you a tour of what’s going to happen at Funny or Die’s mega comedy festival/tour Oddball, which does have Dave Chappelle and Flight of the Conchords, but also has Kristen Schaal, Jim Jefferies, John Mulaney, Hannibal Buress, as well as Brody Stevens as the second stage host, and much more.
Honestly, this might be one of the biggest comedy tours in recent memory so don’t miss out if you get a chance to see it (tickets are on sale now by the way).
USA make sure that you don’t let this pass you by. Matt Braunger and Johnny Pemberton are two comedians you don’t want to miss, not to mention that their tour is sponsored by the beer company that lets Will Ferrell do all those local TV ads.
Watch an official announcement from Matt and (son?) Johnny.
