Gary Owen Sold Out Both Nights in Detroit — and His New Tour Runs 60-Plus Dates Into Next May
Detroit found out first: Gary Owen is back on the road, and his new tour is already selling out.
The comedian launched his No Hard Feelings Tour with two nights at the Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel in Detroit — Friday, Nov. 13 and Saturday, Nov. 14, both at 7 p.m. — and both nights sold out, according to We Speak Media and tour listings.
From Detroit, the run keeps going — more than 60 dates stretching into May 2027, with stops in Rochester, Buffalo, New York and dozens more cities in between. The tour is billed as a full-length hour unfolding city by city, with Owen digging into his personal life in the new material.
Owen, 52, built his name the old-fashioned way: stand-up clubs, then scene-stealing film roles in Think Like a Man and Ride Along, plus his own BET series The Gary Owen Show. He started doing comedy while serving in the U.S. Navy, and three decades later he is still one of the most reliably funny headliners on the road — a comic whose crowds show up in every market, every time.
Saturday’s Detroit show is 21-and-over with valid photo ID. The Sound Board sits inside MotorCity Casino Hotel at 2901 Grand River in Detroit — about an hour’s drive from Toledo, and an easy Saturday-night trip for northwest Ohio comedy fans.
If you missed the Detroit dates, the tour’s next stops are listed on Ticketmaster and 313 Presents. Detroit got the opener. Sixty-plus more rooms are about to find out why.
