After gracing the cover of Pollstar’s 2021 “Women Of Live” special issue in March, Levity Live co-founder and president Judi Marmel is not-very-surprisingly on the verge of announcing major 2021 tours for her major clients, which include arena-headlining Sebastian Maniscalco, nearly household name Bert Kreischer, Whitney Cummings, Taylor Tomlinson and others.
“Touring is very much a priority – and we’ve seen the specials and the films, TV projects and podcasts and everything as really just support systems for the live,” says Marmel. In the case of Kreischer specifically, that “support system” is a major motion picture titled “The Machine,” based on his most famous bit about how he got the nickname during a college trip to Russia – co-starring Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill.
Marmel’s clients are heading out in a big way in recent months as the world opens back up, little surprise as they were some of the most notable to keep up the momentum during the pandemic.
