Modern Romance With Aziz Ansari
The “Parks and Recreation” star knows what he’s talking about when it comes to romance because he’s been doing his research. Ansar has been busy doing a different sort of tour as he visits cities to host focus groups for his new book on modern dating and relationships. In January he stopped by Wichita and New York City and tweeted that he plans additional focus groups in Chicago, Austin and Charleston.
Ansari even got Conan O’Brien to dish about how he proposed to his wife during an appearance on “Conan.”
Following a handful of initial gigs announced in January, Ansari unveiled the complete routing for the “Modern Romance: A New Comedy Tour” this week. Check out the routing below. Select cites feature multiple shows per night.
