Canadian funny people Jann Arden and Rick Mercer are joining forces for a cross-country storytelling tour this spring.
The 鈥淚nsensitive鈥� singer-turned-comedian and the 鈥淭his Hour Has 22 Minutes鈥� comedian-turned-commentator are plotting a 16-date run of shows that promise 鈥渁n evening of laughter, stories and successes from their careers in entertainment.鈥�
Promoter Live Nation says the Will They or Won鈥檛 They Tour begins in Kitchener, Ont., on April 27 before heading out across much of Canada.
Each night, Arden and Mercer will set the stage for a 鈥渇ree-wheeling, unscripted, unrehearsed and unrestrained discussion鈥� about their lives.
Arden is a Juno-winning singer-songwriter who more recently appeared in her own CTV sitcom 鈥淛ann,鈥� while Mercer parlayed his comedy career into the satirical political C小蓝视频 series 鈥淭he Rick Mercer Report."
Additional stops on the tour include Halifax on April 29, Toronto on May 12, Calgary on May 22 and a final show in Vancouver on May 27. Tickets for most dates go on general public sale starting Friday.
