Tourgasm

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tourgasm was a 30-day 20-show stand-up comedy tour in 2005 featuring Dane Cook and 3 of his best friends in the industry: Gary Gulman, Jay Davis, and Robert Kelly. The tour was filmed in its entirety and is being aired on HBO as a documentary in June of 2006. The documentary was created and directed by Dane Cook. Gary Gulman left the tour because of unknown reasons, but returned after a few dates. At each destination Dane Cook and fellow comedians play a game or do an activity before performing. Some of the events include horseback riding, riding Segway scooters, and visiting Niagara Falls.

Tourgasm is very similar in format to the Showtime/Comedy Central film and short series The Comedians of Comedy. The Comedians of Comedy consisted of comedians Patton Oswalt, Maria Bamford, Zach Galifianakis, and Brian Posehn. Although similar in format both shows differ in audience amount- The Comedians Of Comedy mostly play to small rock club audiences whereas Tourgasm plays to mostly college arena audiences where it is a huge success.

Tourgasm is going to be appearing in selected theatres in Canada this September.

The song heard in the beginning and end credits is "Dimension" by Austrailian rock-band Wolfmother.

Bob Kelly, Jay Davis and Gary Gulman are currently touring as Tourgasm.
