Performing stand-up in comedy clubs since early 90s, Cook made a big breakthrough in 1998 after appearing on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend. These shows, along with the 2003 release of his Platinum-selling album “Harmful If Swallowed,” brought Cook fame, making him one of the nation’s most successful new comedians at the time. He continued dropping a number of record-breaking comedy specials throughout the years including “Vicious Circle,” “Isolated Incident,” “Retaliation,” “Tourgasm,” and “Rough Around the Edges: Live from Madison Square Garden.”
The renowned stand-up comedian released his latest comedy special, “Above It All,” in October 2022, which quickly soared to the top of the comedy album charts.
The news of the upcoming tour came after Cook’s recent announcement that he has partnered with Super Channel to produce a documentary on his life titled, “Brace for Impact: The Dane Cook Story.”
Cook refers to his family when dwelling on his persona on the stage. “My mother is like a Looney Tunes cartoon. She’s wiggly,” he says, adding: “My dad is the polar opposite. He always had a little ‘what the fuck’ in his voice. Even if he knew nothing about what he was talking about, he could sell it. So I looked at these two extremely funny people and created a style of comedy from absorbing their actions.”
His style is described as principally “long-form storytelling.” In an interview with boston.com, he says he has always been a storyteller, even when he was young.
“When I was younger, it was a very linear kind of storytelling, very physical,” Cook said. :I was a whirling dervish on stage.”
“But as I got more mature, I started loving language, painting verbal pictures,” he explains. “I really focused on the idea of LPMs within a standard story — that stands for Laughs Per Minute. How can I take people on a journey, but not to where it feels like a seminar?”
For Dane Cook fans, tickets will be available starting with artist presale beginning Tuesday, April 30. General on-sale begins Friday, May 3 at 10 a.m. local time. See Cook’s official website for tickets and more information.
