In promotion of his new basketball comedy Semi-Pro, Will Ferrell is setting out on a college comedy tour of the East Coast and Midwest, doing something you've probably never seen him do before: stand-up comedy.
"Will Ferrell's Funny or Die Comedy Tour Presented by Semi-Pro" will feature Ferrell as the headliner for seven shows over three weeks in February, leading up to the movie's Feb. 29 release date. Backing Ferrell on the tour are comedy heavy-hitters Nick Swardson, Zach Galifianakis and Demetri Martin.
The tour will kick off Feb. 4 in Kansas with plans to hit colleges in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Boston, Ohio, Rhode Island and North Carolina. A video crew will follow the funnyboys to each appearance, and clips as well as other features linked to the tour will be posted regularly on FunnyorDie.com, home of Ferrell's "The Landlord" comedy clip, which has been viewed more than 50 million times on the site.
"Not only will this tour make people laugh, but it's going to change lives ... I think," Ferrell said.
