Paul F. Tompkins (L) and Scott Aukerman chop it up in conversation.<\/p>\n
Hot Saucerman is back in business.<\/p>\n
Comedy Bang! Bang! recently announced their summer 2026 \u2018Ground Beefing Tour\u2019 that will send host Scott Aukerman, fan favorite guest Paul F. Tompkins and a slew of unnamed CBB \u201call stars\u201d to theaters, halls and stages all over North America from May through June.<\/p>\n
That includes a stop at New York City\u2019s Town Hall on Wednesday, June 24.<\/p>\n
According to the show\u2019s Instagram<\/a>, the absurdist crew will \u201cperform a totally improvised version of the award-winning podcast\u201d at all shows.<\/p>\n For the uninitiated, \u201cGround Beefing\u201d refers to a pun Aukerman made in a Best of 2025 episode where he described the classic \u201880s \u201cWhere\u2019s The Beef\u201d commercials as not \u201cgroundbreaking but certainly ground beefing.\u201d<\/p>\n As for who the CBB All-Stars are we don\u2019t know who will join but long-time listeners on Reddit<\/a> speculate regulars like former \u201cSNL\u201d cast member Ego Nwodim, \u201cThe Other Two\u201d star Drew Tarver, \u201cThe Righteous Gemstones\u201d regular Tim Baltz \u201cSNL\u201d writer Carl Tart and UCB improv legend Will Hines may pop in.<\/p>\n Our fingers are crossed former band leader Reggie Watts and \u201cReview\u201d icon Andy Daly also swing by for some make \u2019em ups.<\/p>\n Prior to the upcoming outing, Comedy Bang! Bang! hit the road in 2013, 2016-17, 2019, 2022 and 2024.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, not many reviews are available online but we unearthed one from 2016 when the gang performed in Sydney.<\/p>\n Their local AU Review<\/a> wrote \u201c\u2026[Aukerman] interviews a person of note, who appear as themselves, alongside a line-up of comedians who appear as characters. What happens is unscripted, and in the case of this evening, saw Scott and his four guests \u2013 who he gradually introduced to the set \u2013 beautifully play off one and other and go down a variety of roads \u2013 some involving incredibly, deliberately drawn out stories (see Mike Hanford\u2019s Calvin Redding unnecessarily detailed bank robbery), and others surprisingly\u2026 let\u2019s say, perverted, for lack of a better word (Lauren Lapkus\u2019 Traci Rearden and something involving feet and orgasms?).\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026\u00a0it\u2019s improv at its finest, and most unpredictable. And though it\u2019s great to sit and listen to the show as a podcast, there\u2019s nothing that equates to being a fan of the series and seeing it performed live.\u201d<\/p>\n While we don\u201dt know what the show will be like ten years removed from this review, we do know the best way to find out is live.<\/p>\n Tickets officially go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 10 at 10 am local time through Ticketmaster but are available now on trusted secondary market sites like StubHub and Vivid Seats.<\/p>\n We only recommend sites with a 100% buyer guarantee, so you know your transaction is safe and your tickets will arrive on time.<\/p>\n Note: Comedy Bang! Bang! also shared that \u201cUK \/ Ireland \/ Southwest & West Coast USA dates\u201d will be added soon.<\/p>\n Comedy Bang!
