Okay, it's not their actual "death" death, but the four comedians - Patton Oswalt, Zack Galifianakis, Brian Posehn, and Maria Bamford - have decided to end their "Comedians of Comedy Tour." The four, who've been touring the country for multiple years, will perform their final show blatantly titled Death to the Comedians of Comedy July 26th, in San Diego. The tour originated to give the four more "more exposure" according their Myspace, and has done its job well enough for them to stop.
The four members have garnered popularity over the years since the tour's origination, and all have multiple reported projects in the works. Posehn is releasing a comic book soon apparently about zombies. Bamford is doing voice-work on the new Fox Animated series Sit Down, Shut Up. Galifianakis is starring in the movie Visioneers, along with other reported projects. And Oswalt is keeping busy filming episodes of Lewis Black's Root of All Evil show on Comedy Central. The four will also continue to perform stand-up as solo acts.
It's still a sad passing, even if it's mutual.
