Kevin James Turns Internet Meme into Comedy Tour Promotion
Kevin James, known for his role in “The King of Queens,” has decided to capitalize on his recent internet meme fame. The actor and comedian shared the meme on his social media, much to the delight of the internet, and cleverly used it to promote his upcoming standup comedy tour.
The meme features an old promotional headshot of Kevin from his sitcom days in the ’90s, where he’s seen shrugging with both hands in his pockets and a sheepish grin on his face. This image has become a hit on social media, with people creating hilarious memes using it.
Noticing the popularity of the memes, Kevin’s co-star from “The King of Queens,” Leah Remini, expressed her love for them. Now, Kevin is jumping on the bandwagon and using the meme to generate buzz for his “Double Hands In The Pocket” tour. He jokingly mentions in his post that the tour is “sheepishly coming to a city near you.”
Kevin’s comedy tour will be stopping in Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Florida, and Las Vegas. It’ll be interesting to see if the meme craze will translate into increased ticket sales for his shows.
