It was years ago when comedy legend Weird Al Yankovic last toured on the big venues of America, and more than a decade since his last musical parody. But the comedy legend’s impact on the industry remains strong, and the recent high demand for his tour was a strong show of support from his fans. Now he’s making sure to thank them back with the new 90 dates for the Bigger & Weirder Tour 2026! The comedian’s tour has been praised by his audiences and he’s now extending it to let more people get the chance to see him live! On his Instagram, he wrote, “If you missed it the first time around - or if for some crazy reason you want to see it again - now’s your chance!!”
The warm reception to The Bigger & Weirder Tour shouldn’t have come as a surprise. For someone who started his career by doing parodies of Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Queen, Weird Al Yankovic was able to make a solid career by making sure his creative skills were harnessed and used in various genres. Now, his career of over 40 years has made him a comedian, an actor, and a writer. The comedian is not only a winner of five Grammys, but he has also earned the top spot of being the the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history. Weird Al’s ability to conquer different genres allowed him to have versatile ways of entertaining all kinds of audiences. And he doesn’t plan to stop evolving as an artist; like he shared in an interview, “I want to get more involved in feature films and TV, and I love voice acting. I want to still keep doing music, and I still love touring, obviously.”
Weird Al’s love for touring continues into 2026 as he brings out a full production to numerous states across America. Coming along with the comedian is entertainer Puddles Pity Party as the official opening act of the Bigger & Weirder Tour. Puddles will be entertaining fans with his baritone singing and mime skills. It’s going to be a must-see full show for people of all ages!
