Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington are bringing their avant-comedy film show On Cinema at the Cinema to venues around North America next year. Set to take place in early 2026, the Certified Five Bags of Popcorn Tour is billed as a combination variety show and movie review panel, with Heidecker and Turkington portraying their on-screen On Cinema personas. The comedy duo have also shared a trailer for the tour; check that out, plus their full list of tour dates, below.
The Certified Five Bags of Popcorn Tour starts on March 21 in Chicago, and makes stops in Toronto, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Seattle, San Francisco, and other cities. The route currently ends in Los Angeles on April 17.
On Cinema at the Cinema returns to HEI Network tonight for its 16th season. For the live tour, Heidecker will reprise his role as wellness guru Dr. Newman Heidecker, with both him and Turkington weighing in on movies, each others’ opinions, and plenty of sidetracked gripes. In 2019, the duo turned the On Cinema comedy series into a deluxe, hardbound, episode-by-episode book.
Last year, Heidecker released a new album with his Very Good Band called Slipping Away. It’s the sixth solo LP of his music career and followed 2022’s High School.
