Kumail Nanjiani returns to stand-up comedy with first tour in a decade

Kumail Nanjiani, the comedian-turned-actor known for his roles in "Silicon Valley" and "The Big Sick," is returning to his stand-up roots after a decade-long hiatus. 

From September through December 2024, Nanjiani will embark on his first stand-up tour in ten years, titled the ‘Doing This Again Tour.’ 

The 46-year-old star of "Welcome To Chippendales" will perform across North America, with 15 scheduled shows, including a stop at Philadelphia’s The Fillmore on 21 September.

Nanjiani, who last performed a stand-up special in 2013 with "Beta Male," announced the tour on Instagram, humorously reminding fans not to interrupt his show, as "heckling is punishable by death."
