For the tour, actor Justin Rupple joins them as the host.
The first-ever Gen X: The Takeover Comedy show took place in September 2024 and became an instant hit. Now, the Gen X: The Takeover Comedy Tour is set to kick off its inaugural North American tour for 2025-2026. The tour will kick off this Friday, August 8, at Caesars Atlantic City. The first leg of the tour will run throughout the fall, visiting cities such as Cincinnati and Tacoma (Seattle). They will conclude 2025 by joining the sold-out six-night GenX Takeover Royal Caribbean cruise in November. Dates and cities for the 2026 leg of the tour have been announced, with details about venues and ticket on-sale dates to be revealed soon.
UAA Casino agent Ricky Regalado spoke on the upcoming tour, saying: “Working alongside such a talented group of influencers on Gen X: The Takeover Comedy Tour has been an incredibly fun and inspiring experience. I’m extremely proud of the creativity and collaboration this team has brought to the table. Each influencer brings a unique voice and a deep connection with their fans, and we’re excited to share that energy with fans across the country as the tour rolls out.”
Justin Rupple added: I’ve worked in live production for nearly two decades, and the team at UAA has been the most professional I have ever worked with. As a comedian, it’s hard to find a team that understands the performance side and production like they do.”
