Conan O 'Brien Touring This Summer

Following Conan O 'Brien's sudden departure from the "Tonight Show", no one would have thought that he would launch a live theatrical tour weaving together some of his old television work with new elements.

Last month, Ticketmaster confirmed that the show was in fact going to happen after TMZ pointed out to "a Ticketmaster page selling tickets to a Conan O 'Brien show at the Dodge Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona on Friday, April, 30th". No other dates were listed and the Phoenix page has since been removed from their website. His publicist told MTV News that the show was still in the arranging stages and would be "premature to confirm the Phoenix date".

Recently, the comedian has confirmed dates in 30 cities around the states and Canada starting off April 12 in Eugene, Orgegon. He has also given the live show a rather creative title “Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour”, which rips on NBC's contract that prohibits O 'Brien doing television until September. Ticket prices to see the awesome CoCo are kept at a reasonable $39.50!

The former late night star broke the news over twitter and even gave a more accurate description of the show in his own words. “Hey Internet: I’m headed to your town on a half-assed comedy & music tour. Go to TeamCoco.com for tix. I repeat: It’s half-assed.”

This is not the first time Conan has gone on a comedy tour! Back in 2004 he did televised performances from Toronto's Elgin Theatre. The show gathered quite a bit of controversy after Triumph the Insult Comic Dog "zinged French speakers", Conan was forced to apologize for Triumph's behavior.  "People of Quebec, I'm sorry. I'm an albino jackass."

What else is going on with Mr. O'Brien? He'll be filming a documentary about the tour with "Leprechaun 2"director, Rodman Flender according to MTV.com! There is still no word of it's release.
