What did John Mulaney announce?
On TODAY, the comedian said he would not settle for one—or even three—New York stops. Instead, he framed a “very special run” of nine iconic city venues across nine nights, billed in coverage as “Mulaney Takes Manhattan.”
“This is really a great way to do the intimate small places,” he said, describing a climb that builds toward Madison Square Garden and a return to Radio City Music Hall, where he previously filmed a special. Full details were first reported by TODAY.com.

The schedule runs Thursday, Jan. 7, through Friday, Jan. 15, 2027:

How does this fit the Mister Whatever Tour?
John Mulaney is midway through his Mister Whatever Tour, which already delivered a landmark July 11 date at Chicago’s Wrigley Field. He became the first comedian to headline and sell out the Cubs’ ballpark, a show he later called “iconic” and “like flying a spaceship,” noting David Letterman introduced him.
In a related TODAY appearance announcing the NYC shows, he also discussed taking the family on the road for the comedy tour, including his daughter doing a sound check on stage.

The nine-venue path—from club stages to Broadway, Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, and Madison Square Garden—makes the January 2027 run a rare New York roadmap for the Mister Whatever Tour.
