USA Tour Update - IT'S (hopefully) HAPPENING (IT'S NOT)!! (Patreon)

EDIT: IT'S NOT HAPPENING

Hello beautiful Patreon people,

Dave here with an update on our (hopeful) US tour!

We have officially applied for a working visa to come over. The whole process has been quite complicated and involved a tour company (helmed by a legend named Thom), as well as an immigration lawyer, many forms and documents… and has taken a little bit longer than we expected. We're still not 100% sure when we'll hear back about it.

The dates we have proposed to come over are in October 2023. In just over two months. Which is coming up super fast!

So we just wanted to give you all a heads up with as much notice as possible, so you can put them in your calendar and make tentative plans. We’ve tried to have the shows be on the weekends, or at least in the later half of the week, to make travelling a bit easier if needed.

Sadly we can’t get everywhere we would have liked due to time constraints, and a special apology to Canadian listeners - we were told that leaving the USA to visit Canada and then re entering would make it even more complicated. But we have specifically chosen two US cities (Seattle and Buffalo) that are at least close-ish to the border, and we hope some of you can still make it down to meet us.

We chose these cities based on the Patreon survey I posted a couple of months back as well as our download data that tells us where people are listening.


THE PROPOSED DATES AND CITIES:

- Friday October 13, SEATTLE, WA - The Carco Theatre

- Sunday, October 15, LONG BEACH, CA - Laugh Factory

- Thursday, October 19, DALLAS, TX - Hyena’s Comedy Club

- Saturday, October 21, DENVER, CO*
(*NOTE: This one is unconfirmed and most likely to change as getting a venue has been very difficult. We want to see Blucifer but might have to find a different city. We’re really working hard on it!)

- Sunday, October 22, CHICAGO, IL - Laugh Factory

- Thursday, October 26, BUFFALO, NY - Helium Comedy Club

- Saturday, October 28, NEW YORK CITY, NY - *Venue TBC, could possibly change to Sunday October 29. Again venue has been a bit harder than other places.


So that’s the plan so far! I need to post a huge disclaimer and say there is still a possibility that the visa will be denied, and then we won’t be able to come over at all. But like I said, it’s taken a bit longer than expected and we’re worried that we’ll run out of time to promote the tour.

So we wanted to keep you, our fantastic supporters, fully in the loop.

I’ll also say, we’d love to add some Who Knew It with Matt Stewart and Book Cheat live pods too. Possibly on the same night, but we will only do that if we fill up these Do Go On shows. We really hope people come haha.

I know some of you will be disappointed that we aren’t coming to your city or town. But hopefully we are coming close to many of you and you can meet us halfway!

We’ll also hopefully have the even better news that it’s all been approved soon. You’ll all be the first to know either way.

Let us know in the comments which of the places we might see you! (and any good spots for pies haha)

Thank you for the support and we hope to see you in the US of A.
