Tim & Eric Plot ‘Mandatory Attendance Tour’ for 2020

Comedy duo Tim & Eric announced their 2020 Mandatory Attendance Tour, which will take them through the United States, Canada and Australia with a new live show “filled with brand new spoofs, goofs and insanity.”

The duo shared a characteristically surreal trailer for the run that (sort of) explained why attendance was mandatory. “In the past, it has been optional to buy tickets, and even to attend it,” Eric Wareheim cracked. “But this tour’s a little different.” Tim Heidecker then added: “Anybody watching right now is now legally assigned the responsibility of attending the tour.”

The North American leg of the tour launches January 27th at the Balboa Theatre in San Diego, California and will include shows in Washington, D.C., Toronto, Vancouver and more. The run wraps with a two-night stand at the Theatre at Ace Hotel in Los Angeles, March 6th and 7th. Tickets go on sale Friday, September 27th at 10:00 a.m. local time on Ticketmaster.com.

Tim & Eric’s last major project together was Tim & Eric’s Bedtime Stories, which ran for two seasons on Adult Swim from 2013 to 2017. This year, Heidecker released a new album, What the Broken-Hearted Do… and is set to star  in the upcoming political mockumentary, Mister America, out October 9th. Wareheim most recently appeared on the non-fiction food show Ugly Delicious.
