Hilarious comedian performs in the Arena on April 25th & 26th
Fresh on the heels of the announcement of his Comedy Central special and comedy album, ISolated INcident, comedian Dane Cook has now announced plans to take his material on the road with the ‘ISolated INcident – Global Thermo Comedy Tour.’ Touted as the largest comedy tour in history, Cook will travel within the U.S., Canada, Africa, Brazil, Australia, U.K. and Germany. Cook is kicking off this massive tour with two shows at Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday, April 25th and Sunday, April 26th. Saturday night’s show begins at 10:00pm and Sunday’s show begins at 7:00pm.
Tickets are $100.00, $75.00 and $50.00 and go on sale Monday, March 16th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster.

Tickets may also be purchased at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Tuesday, March 17th, subject to availability.
“Taking this new tour around the world is a desire I’ve wanted to fulfill for some time now, based on the tremendous response I received during the select few dates I have done internationally. To travel the globe and see beautiful places, while entertaining fans from every corner of the earth is massive. I promise tons of special surprises while looking forward to pushing myself very hard, performing around 100 shows over the next year, and in the process I hope to bank up some serious frequent flyer miles,” said Cook.
After proving his star power in front of a combined live crowd of 70,000 people with two highly-rated specials, Vicious Circle for HBO and Rough Around the Edges for Comedy Central, Cook has reinvented himself with ISolated INcident, where he shares his stand-up insights with a more intimate crowd. Now, he will once again entertain the masses in large venues on a worldwide scale.
Previously Cook created, directed and starred in HBO’s nine-part comedy documentary series, Tourgasm and wrote, executive produced and starred in Vicious Circle, a feature-length stand-up event. Additionally he has proved to be a strong force in the industry with his debut CD/DVD release, Harmful If Swallowed which has been certified platinum. His latest CD, Rough Around The Edges, recently hit gold status, and his sophomore release, Retaliation, debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 and has reached double platinum standing.
