Gary Owen to Embark on 'No Hard Feelings' Tour in 2026

Following a wave of sold-out performances at comedy clubs across the country, comedian and actor Gary Owen has announced his first major North American theater tour, No Hard Feelings.

Produced by Icon Concerts, the 37-city tour kicks off on Jan. 16, making stops throughout the U.S. including Boston, Nashville, Chicago, Houston, Honolulu, Phoenix, Baltimore and many more. 

Tickets will be available starting Wednesday, November 19 at 9 a.m. local time through venue and artist presales. The general on-sale begins Friday, November 21 at 9 a.m. local time here.

A stand-up comic for more than two decades, Owen is known for his unapologetic, rule-defying style with a cross-cultural fanbase that spans race, gender and generation. In addition to stand-up, Owen has appeared in a wide range of feature films including “Back on the Strip” alongside Tiffany Haddish, “Meet the Blacks” and its sequel “The House Next Door,” “Think Like a Man” and “Think Like a Man Too,” “Ride Along” with Ice Cube and Kevin Hart, “Little Man” opposite the Wayans Brothers, and “Daddy Day Care” with Eddie Murphy. On television, he starred in his own BET series “The Gary Owen Show” and co-hosted TruTV’s sketch series “Upload with Shaquille O’Neal.” After meeting Tyler Perry on “The Tom Joyner Morning Show,” Owen was cast in the recurring role as Zach the barber on TBS’ “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne.”

He continues to write, produce and perform his own comedy specials, including “Black Famous,” “#Doin’ What I Do,” “I Got My Associates,” “I Agree with Myself,” “True Story,” “Urban Legend” and “Breakin’ Out the Park.” Most recently, he recorded two specials back-to-back—“Broken Family,” a viral hit on YouTube, and “Gary Owen…No S,” released this past spring on Mint Comedy.
