Glenn Beck planning a comedy tour. Is it time to laugh or cry?
Posted on Mon Apr 13 2009So, it's a low-rent show about nothing?
Glenn Beck, the surprise breakout star of Fox News and resident doomsday prophet, plans a six-city comedy tour that he's dubbed "a poor man's Seinfeld." He'll mix his end-times musings with a reimagining of Thomas Paine's 1776 pamphlet Common Sense, reports the Associated Press. (Is there anything even vaguely Seinfeldian about that?) Beck and his tear-streaked one-man "brand extension" will hit Phoenix, Kansas City, Denver, San Diego, Houston and Richmond, Va. And in case you miss the live act, the show will launch in movie theaters around the country in June.
I'm not sure what's scarier, Beck's vision of the impending apocalypse or his performance art projected onto a 40-foot screen.
