Conan O’Brien Officially Announces Stage Tour
Conan O’Brien has finally announced his long-rumored stage tour to kick off on April 12th.
The rumors had been circulating for a while now that Conan O’Brien would go on a multi-city tour as he is legally prohibited from being on TV until Sept. 1st due to his deal with NBC to leave The Tonight Show. Entitled “The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television Tour”, Mr. O’Brien described the tour on his Twitter account as:
Hey Internet: I’m headed to your town on a half-assed comedy & music tour. Go to http://TeamCoco.com for tix. I repeat: It’s half-assed.
The 30 city tour launches in Eugene, OR on April 12th, and wraps up in Atlanta, GA on June 14th. Some cities, such as Boston, will get more than one night of performances.
As to what the content of the show will be, that is anyone’s guess. There is also no mention if Andy Richter or Max Weinberg will be involved in the tour, or if this will just be O’Brien going it on his own. The official site states it will be, “A night of music, comedy, hugging, and the occasional awkward silence”.
It’s a great way to keep his name out there as he is sure to be prepping a new talk show in the not too distant future.
As Mr. O’Brien said, you can head to TeamCoco.com for information on the tour dates and links to purchasing the tickets.
