“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.
