SNL‘s Devon Walker Sets Summer Standup Tour

Devon Walker is planning on grinning his way through a busy summer. The Saturday Night Live performer is embarking on a standup comedy tour.

Dubbed The Smiling Thru It All! Tour, Walker will begin an eleven-city itinerary later this month, performing 18 shows through mid-September. True to the tour’s name, Walker’s announcement was accompaned by a tour poster designed by artist Jo Minor that centers the SNL performer’s smile.

Joining Walker for two of his stops will be fellow cast member Michael Longfellow, who is set to co-headline with Walker for the tour’s opening show at Philadelphia’s World Cafe Live, as well as two shows in Las Vegas. In Atlanta, Walker will be joined by comedian and SNL writer Asha Ward.

Walker will also continue churning out episodes of his newly launched podcast, My Favorite Lyrics throughout the summer. In recent weeks, he has also fronted campaigns for Theory’s Modern Wool suits and Captain Morgan flavored rum. 

Several of the comedian’s SNL castmates have their own summer comedy tours mapped out, including James Austin Johnson, Andrew Dismukes, Emil Wakim, Jane Wickline, and Please Don’t Destroy.

Walker’s scheduled dates wrap up September 12-13 in Houston, Texas—two weeks before the start of Saturday Night Live’s new season on September 27th. As for whether Walker will be in Studio 8H when Season 51 debuts: “Time will tell,” he recently told LateNighter. “I definitely love being at the show, and I’m excited to keep working there as long as they’ll have me.”
