TikTok Star Jake Shane Announces ‘Therapuss’ Live Podcast Tour (EXCLUSIVE)
Therapuss is going on the road.
TikTok star, podcaster and Hollywood’s resident best friend Jake Shane has announced a live tour in support of his recently launched podcast “Therapuss.”
The tour will kick off on Monday, October 7 in Durham, NC and will span 21 cities before wrapping up in Los Angeles on Friday, November 22. Tickets will go on sale to the public on Friday, July 19 at passthatpuss.com
Shane has planned on bringing the podcast to the stage since its first episode. “Live touring was in my initial reasoning to do this podcast in the first place because I really wanted to do something live in front of people,” Shane told Variety earlier this year.
After doing two standalone shows in Arkansas and Syracuse last year, he realized that sharing his stories on stage and meeting his listeners and fans in person was one of the most gratifying parts of his newfound fame. “It was just like the best two days ever since all this has happened and in my life, so I’m definitely going to take ‘Therapuss’ on the road. And I’m really, really, really excited about it.”
“Therapuss with Jake Shane” loosely follows the format of a therapy session, with listeners calling in to share their problems with Shane and a rotating co-host, which so far has included everyone from Tate McRae and Ed Sheeran to Glen Powell and Joe Jonas.
The 30-minute sessions are inspired by his viral Instagram Stories series “Tell Me What’s Wrong,” which in the new format includes a “pusscription” where callers will be “pusscribed” the perfect pop culture remedy to help them make their way through the muck. In his most recent episode with Whitney Cummings, for example, he “pusscribed” “Daddy I Love Him” by Taylor Swift to a caller dating an older man with kids of which her friends don’t approve.
