Comedian Lewis Black has announced his final standup comedy tour, dubbed “Goodbye Yeller Brick Road, the Final Tour.”
Spanning 45 dates, the jaunt will begin with a show in Monterey, California on January 18th, 2024, after which Black will head to cities such as Denver, Boston, Atlanta, and London, before wrapping with a final performance in Stockholm, Sweden, on May 24th. After that, he’ll retire from touring to focus on “writing a new play, penning a new book, and expanding his podcast, RantCast, to include live recordings,” according to a press release.
Tickets will first become available to members of Black’s fan club (you can join the club on Black’s website). They’ll then go on sale for the general public via Ticketmaster on Friday, November 17 at 10:00 a.m. local time, after which they’ll be available on StubHub (for international dates, secure your seats here).
“For a while now I have been letting folks know that I am going to retire from touring,” Black, 75, said in a statement. “No one believed me. ‘Why would you retire from touring?’ they asked. This is after years of being asked why I was touring, ‘It must be exhausting.’ So, today I am announcing that I am retiring from touring.”
Continuing, Black explained a bit about what he hopes to do after his touring retirement. “It’s time for me to explore other avenues such as writing, reading your rants, and pitching TV shows that will be rejected (which is why I know they are good),” he said. “More importantly, I can finally give my Fantasy Football team the focus and time it truly needs. And maybe, just maybe, I can become the professional golfer I was born to be.”
Lewis released his most recent standup special, Tragically, I Need You, this past May. In 2015, he voiced the character Anger in the animated film, Inside Out, and will reprise the role in the upcoming sequel, Inside Out 2.

After 35 years, I've decided to call it quits on touring the road. I thought the road would go on forever, well I was wrong about that. And the fact is as hard as the road maybe to be on, it’s harder to leave it. pic.twitter.com/6eOn14pBkk
