Comedian Anthony Jeselnik has announced plans to hit the road for a sprawling series of performances dubbed the Funny Games World Tour. Beginning on Feb. 22 in Red Bank, NJ, the comedy road trip will make stops in just about every major American city before coming to a conclusion at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, TX at the end of June.
Jeselnik revealed the Funny Games 2018 World Tour on Twitter, saying, “My new hour is perfect. Come to me now. Reap the benefits of my labor. All dates, cities and tickets at anthonyjeselnik.com.” He later tweeted that shows in UK, Europe, Australia and even more dates in North America will be announced in the coming months. “Everyone is welcome. No one is safe,” he added.
Jeselnik is best known for his no-holds-barred approach to comedy as well as his appearances on the Comedy Central Roasts of Donald Trump, Charlie Sheen and Roseanne Barr. He previously hosted The Jeselnik Offensive and has released two comedy specials to date, Caligula and Thoughts and Prayers.
