Comedian Jeff Dunham is currently midway through a huge, nationwide tour and, as always, all his friends are coming along for the ride.
The veteran ventriloquist still has 43 upcoming shows at arenas, coliseums and auditoriums all over the U.S. from January through May as part of his “Still Not Cancelled Tour.”
That includes big gigs at Albany’s MVP Arena at Feb. 8, Newark’s Prudential Center on Feb. 26 and Binghamton’s Visions Veterans Memorial Arena on April 14.
In an interview, Dunham claimed he’s hoping to “bring comedy back” on the tour.
What the 60-year-old comic is implying is that he wants his show to evoke an era where audiences didn’t know the comedian’s politics were and the comic “made fun of both sides equally.”
This statement should be taken with a grain of salt though — Dunham’s act does employ offensive racial stereotypes as punchlines for a handful of his characters.
All that being said, he still describes the show as “good, stupid fun.”
And if that sounds like your idea of an entertaining evening, here’s everything you need to know about the tour.
