The American reality show trio Impractical Jokers is hitting the road in 2023. Billed as “The DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE Tour,” the tour will feature James “Murr” Murray, Brian “Q” Quinn, and Sal Vulcano on their first live outing together in three years.
This will mark the first time the trio will tour without their founding member Joe Gatto, who announced his departure from the show on New Years’ Eve in 2021. As of now, no opening acts have been announced for the tour. However, it is likely that the trio might get guests to perform.
The tour will kick off in February next year and will wrap up on April 8, 2023.
In a statement, the group shared:
“We are so excited to finally get back on tour next year. After the difficult last couple of years, we are looking forward to laughing again with all the Impractical Jokers fans out there and bringing them a personalized and intimate comedic experience like never before.”
The tickets for the tour will be available through various presale options that will open from October 19 at 10:00 am PT. These include an artist presale with the access code "IJDRIVE." American Express Early Access pre-sales are also available, and a Live Nation pre-sale can also be accessed using the code "Pumpkin." General tickets for the public will be available from October 21 at 10:00 am PT via Ticketmaster.

In 1999, Gatto, Murray, and Vulcano were members of the live improv and sketch comedy troupe The Tenderloins. In 2006, Quin replaced former Tenderloin member Mike Boccio.
The Tenderloins were the winners of the 2007 NBC competition, It's Your Show. In 2011, TruTV announced Impractical Jokers with a hidden camera format.
