The 25-city showcase will spotlight both
household names and featured acts in premiere clubs across the
country, including Improv venues in multiple stops
DETROIT, Aug. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Rocket Mortgage – the nation's largest retail
mortgage lender and part of Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT) –
today announced the launch of the Rocket Comedy Tour in partnership
with comedian, writer and director Mike
Young. The 25-stop nationwide tour is set to bring
headlining acts alongside Young to intimate theaters across the
country, kicking off in Phoenix on
October 11, 2024.
The Rocket Comedy Tour is more than a series of shows, it's an
avenue to create moments of joy and connection. In a world where
the daily grind can take its toll, Rocket Mortgage and Young are on
a mission to provide a place for shared laughter. Each stop on the
tour – including those at the esteemed Improv venues – promises an
evening filled with humor that reminds the audience of "home,"
making every theater a communal living room where stories and
laughs are shared.
"The Rocket Comedy Tour will offer a space where people can
recharge and find joy in the shared experience of laughter," said
Casey Hurbis, Senior Vice President
of Brand Experiences and Strategic Partnerships for Rocket
Mortgage. "Mike Young is the perfect
partner for this tour. He brings both a comedic flair that is sure
to leave a lasting impression and he represents the resilient
spirit of our beloved hometown of Detroit."
Along with Young, a handpicked lineup of incredible headliners
will captivate and connect with audiences. From the up-and-comers
to the seasoned pros, each comedian will contribute their unique
brand of humor, ensuring that the Rocket Comedy Tour is an
unforgettable experience. After touring with Bob Saget, Sebastian
Maniscalco, Russell Peters
and Dave Chapelle, Young recently
wrote and directed his latest feature "Stealing Jokes" in The Motor
City – setting up shop in Detroit
where The Rocket Comedy Tour will land for its finale.
The Rocket Comedy Tour will visit 25 cities including
Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Los
Angeles, Miami and
Phoenix.
"I am thrilled to partner with Rocket and collaborate with the
top stand-up comedy talent in the nation," said Young. "Having
created 'The Young American Comedy Tour' in 2015 featuring
Sebastian Maniscalco, Bobby Lee and Bert
Kreischer, I experienced the unifying power of comedy
firsthand. The Rocket brand is known for providing unique,
memorable experiences and their partnership across this multi-city
tour will bring an unforgettable touch to each venue."
The Rocket Comedy Tour is managed by Cleveland-based Rock Entertainment Group.
Tickets will go on sale on sale later this month.
