Comedians and “Succession-Tok” creators Taylor Owen and James Neal are taking their The Regular Sketch Show from viral to IRL this fall via an eight-city tour of theaters in major markets.
On the heels of their sold-out live performance at The New York Comedy Festival in November, the duo will bring their act — which includes impressions, parodies, sketches and banter — to larger venues with a live music element.
Owen’s and Neal’s parodies of such binge-worthy series as Succession, The Bear, The White Lotus, Vanderpump Rules and Yellowstone have collectively racked up tens of millions of views on TikTok. (“Yellowstone in 45 Seconds (part two)” alone has topped 15.6 million.) Their fans refer to themselves as “Regs,” and the twosome has been hired by such national brands as HBO, Apple+, Walmart, L’Oreal and Applebee’s to create culture-driven content. And Owen has appeared in Abbott Elementary, Dave and Veep.
“We could not be more excited to bring The Regular Sketch Show on the road,” Owen and Neal said in a joint statement. “Social media has made it easier to reach the masses, but there is something special about performing comedy on stage. It’s vulnerable, intimate and best of all allows us to meet our Regs in person.”
Last year was a pivotal one for the duo. A few months before their sold-out performance at the New York Comedy Festival, they got engaged after Neal proposed to Owen in Florence, Italy. The couple is planning to wed next year. Business first, honeymoon later.
