If you are in the mood for a little comedy but also want to hear some music and can’t seem to make up your mind, then don’t choose!  Weird Al Yankovic provides both that will having tapping your toes until you fall out of your seat laughing.  Even better than downloading a track onto your iPod is listening to the genius live and in person!  Fans are happy to know that Al is back on the road and touring the US once again.

So just what has the funny man been up to lately?  On September 25, 2012 “Weird Al: The Book” was released.  The book features stories and images of the man himself, spanning from his childhood and throughout his musical comedy life, until today.  As the funny man often parodies the popular things of the day it is also like a pop culture look back, from Madonna to Gaga, and all the good times Weird Al had poking fun at us all along the way.  Weird Al also recently appeared on The Annoying Orange comedy show on Cartoon Network, on the “Generic Holiday Special” singing a duet with the orange one himself.  Al was also a judge for the 10th annual Independent Music Awards, as he understands the importance of encouraging the independent spirit when it comes to music making.

Then of course there is the music!  In 2011 Weird Al released his 13th album entitled “Alpocalypse” which had songs like “Polka Face” and “TMZ”.  Some of his biggest hits to date are “Like a Surgeon”, “Eat It”, “White and Nerdy”, “Amish Paradise”, “Fat”, and “Don’t Download This Song”.  Of course every fan has their favorite Weird Al Yankovic song.

Currently the singer has a few shows already scheduled for the 2013 year.  On April 10th he will be in Raleigh, North Carolina performing at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium.  On April 16th he will make his way down to Jacksonville, Florida to the Florida Theatre Jacksonville.  Finally on April 25th he will be at the Family Arena in Saint Charles, Missouri before heading to Canada for some further shows.  Be sure to check him out when his concert tour is near you!
