Felt like this was ready for its own thread. More details are starting to leak about the MST3K 2019 tour. This theater in PA is detailing the VIP packages:
https://www.kimmelcenter.org/events-and-tickets/201920/kcp/mst3k/
No mention of Jonah in the VIP packages or in the tour description. Starting to look like this is going to be Joel only. (Still going. It's coming here on February 14th and that is pure Valentines Day gold!) Also this one describes it as Joel's final live tour. Will there be other tours with other hosts? Whither Jonah? Maybe we'll get more details when the official announcement drops sometime probably very soon (in the not-too-distant-something-or-other).
The hilarious Peabody Award-winning hit TV comedy is coming to Philadelphia with an all-new Mystery Science Theater 3000 Live: The Great Cheesy Movie Circus Tour! Join show creator and original host, Joel Hodgson, and the world’s greatest – and only – movie riffing robots, Tom Servo, Crow, and Gypsy, as they take you on an exhilarating rollercoaster ride through some of the cheesiest films ever made.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 has earned its place in history as one of the Top 100 TV Shows of all time and is currently a hit show on Netflix. Now you can sit in the same theater with your favorite characters and experience this comedy phenomenon in a universally-acclaimed LIVE event.
This is the last chance to see Joel as he celebrates his final live tour performing the unique comedic art form he created. The exhilarating, nonstop, rapid-fire hilarity is brimming with hundreds of jokes riffed on a “So-Bad-It’s-Good” feature film, plus spirited sketches and songs that turn the stage into a circus-themed party.

That's pretty much all for today, but I also want you to know that we're still in discussions about the future of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and making more seasons. There's no official news yet, because we're focusing most of our attention on preparing for the tour, but as soon as there's something else to share, I'll be sure to tell you.
From the new update from Joel, that doesn't really offer anything much up.
-
He also mentions that while Jonah won't be on this tour, he will be on the next one, so they're still expecting a next one.

Two shows in Iowa and one in Omaha! But they’re all on nights I can’t go. I’ll hold out hope that a Des Moines show might be added.
-
Nice to see more smaller to mid size cities this tour.
-
Unfortunately, I can't make it to this tour, because by the time Joel & company make it to Brooklyn, I will be in Japan, so unfortunately, this show is a no-go for me. Oh well!
-
Tour spread out over 6 months with a promise of more dates/venues to be added. Waiting to see what the closest venue to me is before making plans.
-
So is this tour supposed to take place in the continuity of the show? The ending of the last season makes it seems like it does.
-
I've heard from those who were lucky enough to go that the ending tied into the continuity for the last tour somehow. No idea how that worked, since that tour came first.
-
The tour came first chronologically, but story-wise it came after season 12. I assume this tour can continue on in the same time frame, before season 13.

We have tickets for that exact night in Philly. It's not listed on the regular tour page for some reason so I had to do a little digging to find out which movie it was going to be, probably has to do with the way the Kimmel Center wanted to do the promotion. Saw Joel solo a few years ago where he basically talked about his life and then they showed an old MST3K episode. Excited to see how this tour is set up. ;D
-
Went last night to No Retreat No Surrender with K1 and it was a blast!! Joel's take was great. We are going tonight for Circus of Horrors. I hope the "host segments" are different as well....
-
I’ve heard they’re different, but they sort of follow the same theme/format.

They were actually pretty different. Both shows were excellent. I think i preferred Circus of Horrors more because i hadn't seen that one before.
-
I really wish I could come to see both shows in Brooklyn, but I was in Tokyo, Japan, which means I have probably the best excuse to miss out on a riffing event.
