PEOPLE can exclusively reveal that the standup comedian, 42, is launching a new tour called John Mulaney: Mister Whatever.

This new endeavor follows his 2023 Netflix standup special, BABY J, which garnered him an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Variety Special, alongside a win for Outstanding Writing For A Variety Special.

“I’m thrilled to finally have a platform to express my thoughts,” he shares with PEOPLE regarding his upcoming performances.

In a teaser video for Mister Whatever, Mulaney — who is also currently hosting his own live Netflix talk show, Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney, and is set to appear in the Amazon MGM Studios film Madden — is shown blindfolded with his hands tied in the back of a car, flanked by two men with obscured faces and altered voices.

“Hi, it’s me, John Mulaney, and I have fantastic news. I’m hitting the road,” he announces. “My new tour, Mister Whatever, is coming to a city near you. Presale begins on April 23, using the code MISTER, and tickets will be available at JohnMulaney.com. Looking forward to seeing you at a show!”

The men then instruct Mulaney to inform fans that tickets will be available starting at 10 a.m. local time, no matter where they are.

“What do you mean, ‘local time’? Is it 10 a.m. everywhere? Okay,” he responds, trailing off.

From Wednesday, April 23, through Thursday, April 24 at 11:59 p.m. local time, fans can purchase tickets during the presale. The general sale will open on Friday, April 25, at 10 a.m. local time.

The shows will feature special guests such as Jon Stewart, Pete Davidson, Martin Short, Fred Armisen, Mike Birbiglia, and Nick Kroll.
