Helmed by viral video phenomenon John Crist, the "Captive Thoughts" tour, in partnership with Premier Productions, will visit 18 markets throughout the east coast and southwest. Special guests Heath Arthur and Mike Goodwin will join Crist in various markets throughout the tour's tenure beginning in September and wrapping in mid-November.

Crist will be debuting never before seen segments, and offer VIP experiences where fans will be treated to one-on-one experiences with the traveling comedian. 

"The 'Captive Thoughts' Tour is going to be different than any show I've ever done," shares Crist. "I've got a few of my comedian buddies coming with me, so not only will you see me, but you'll hear from some of the best rising comics in the game."

"The thing I like about this tour is that normally we just go wherever we get requests, but we've looked at our audience and where our fans are, and we've decided to go to them, Crist says. "My favorite part of touring is meeting people from different areas of the country and hearing how my comedy has impacted them or their favorite part of my act. This tour includes a special VIP package where I get to meet and talk to everyone, so I'm excited to do that."

Pre-sale for the "Captive Thoughts" tour will hit this Friday, Aug. 11 at Premier Productions Online (code: CAPTIVE), days before the tour is open to the general public next week (Aug. 14).
