Jamie Foxx goes gospel for his new comedy tour
*Jamie Foxx is back on the road, and this time he’s bringing the church with him—literally. On June 2, 2025, Foxx announced he’s searching for gospel choirs in every city to join his upcoming tour.
The Oscar-winning actor and Grammy-winning singer says he wants to mix comedy with “funny church stuff,” creating an experience that celebrates both his humor and his spiritual roots.
Instagram video call sparks buzz from fans and choirs
In a video shared on Instagram, Foxx told fans, “I got some funny stuff that I want to do. I’m a church boy, so I want to do some funny church stuff. So when I come to your city, I need y’all to pull up on me and play along.”
The clip quickly went viral and was picked up by outlets like theJasmineBRAND and X users who shared their excitement. Foxx encouraged followers to stay tuned for more details about how choirs can join.
Foxx blends faith, music, and comedy like never before
This tour follows his Netflix special “What Had Happened Was…,” where Foxx discussed his 2023 health scare with honesty, humor, and soulful music. Now, he’s building on that energy by putting gospel at center stage.
Foxx’s Baptist upbringing and gospel background are no secret. He began playing piano at age five and led choirs at New Hope Baptist Church in Texas. His goal now: make each tour stop a one-of-a-kind event with local choir flavor.
How gospel choirs will be part of the live show
Foxx hasn’t shared official guidelines yet, but he wants a different gospel choir in each city. These groups will likely sing gospel classics and perform skits alongside Foxx during his church-inspired comedy sets.
It’s a tribute to the African-American gospel tradition and a way to turn each show into a blend of concert, stand-up, and spiritual revival—all with a twist of Jamie Foxx flair.
Choir logistics still unclear, but interest is high
There’s no sign-up process posted yet, but choirs are encouraged to keep watching Foxx’s social media for details. The opportunity to share a stage with Jamie Foxx has already sparked interest from choirs nationwide. Given the logistics of rehearsing and coordinating in each city, Foxx’s team will likely share updates soon on how groups can participate.
