Darcy Michael and Jeremy Baer may be self-described 鈥渋diots on the internet,鈥� but they鈥檙e no dummies when it comes to creating dual careers in comedy while living and working together.

As , they鈥檙e travelling the world on a 鈥淣o Refunds鈥� tour coming to 性视界传媒鈥檚 .

The show is kind of a homecoming for the former Ladner residents, who moved to Vancouver Island last fall.

鈥淛udging by our guest list it definitely feels like a homecoming because none of our friends want to pay for tickets,鈥� quipped Michael.

Back in 2021, he launched a Tiktok account where Baer became part of the online fun. Two years later, after attracting millions of followers, they decided to hit the stage together in Vancouver, giving birth to a comedy stage show with jokes about their relationship, ADHD, plants and much more.

鈥淚 did stand-up for 18 years in Canada,鈥� Michael said during a conference call, 鈥渁nd when COVID hit and we started posting online, we definitely did not expect Jer to be doing stand-up with me.鈥�

Baer鈥檚 plan 鈥渨as to get Darcy back on tour and then shadow the tour manager role, behind the scenes, keep that in-house. But then they dragged me out on stage,鈥� recalled the former office manager for a shipping supply company. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 remember that show, I think I blacked out as soon as I went out on stage. But it was good to being able to look over and see Darcy there, knowing he will pick it up if I drop everything.鈥�

Michael laughed.

鈥淭he problem is he鈥檚 gotten so funny now that he catches me off-guard and it pisses me off,鈥� said the stand-up. 鈥淚鈥檓 like, hey, this is my gig, I鈥檓 just sharing the stage with you. That was Jer鈥檚 first time on stage holding a microphone in front of 1,200 people, you know. With 90 minutes of untested material, it was such a leap of faith, but as we said to each other over the last year, let鈥檚 just step outside our comfort zone and dive into this and see if we like it. And we like it. It鈥檚 just fricking exhausting.鈥�

This week they returned home after visiting six cities in 10 days, with Live Nation-booked . The two will take the summer off before heading back to Europe.

So, are they enjoying this comedy ride together, or has it become hard work?

鈥淚f you had asked me any other day, I would have said we鈥檙e loving every second,鈥� Michael said. 鈥淒efinitely the last two months has been a grind. Like, this last week we were in Albany, Philadelphia, Washington, New York, Boston and Vegas, so there was no quit on that one, just go, go, go. But you know, just being able to finally, like, meet the fans in person, you can鈥檛 really complain when you have 1,000 people cheering for you every night.鈥�

Michael added: 鈥淲e鈥檝e agreed that when we get back from touring, we both need a day or two of not talking to each other. We just go to our separate corners in the house and do our things, you know. You need to balance out because we really are together all the time. The co-dependency has never been stronger.鈥�

Not surprisingly, the couple鈥檚 comedy show has evolved since their live debut together in February 2023.

鈥淭here are a lot of unscripted moments,鈥� Michael explained, 鈥渁nd we鈥檙e kind of covering the pillars that people really attach to, which is relationships, mental health, probably a bit about drugs. I think the point of the show for us is to prove regardless of your sexuality or race or age, there鈥檚 a commonality between all of us, and we鈥檙e really seeing that with the audiences that we鈥檙e drawing in, that we can celebrate our differences and laugh at our common hiccups.鈥�

This week, they鈥檙e trying to enjoy their new home.

鈥淚t hasn鈥檛 been all that relaxing yet,鈥� Michael said. 鈥淲e just got home yesterday and realized we don鈥檛 have a lawn mower and the grass is like seven inches tall.鈥�

Baer grew up in the Delta area, where the couple lived for close to 20 years.

鈥淲e鈥檙e trying to keep it secret where we live now,鈥� Michael said, 鈥渂ecause before, some people knew and too many people were showing up at our door. It鈥檚 kind of why we had to move, so this time we just say we鈥檙e on the Island. We love it there (in Ladner) and miss it. It was a sad one but we both needed a better balance of privacy and downtime. And there鈥檚 nothing slower than the Island.鈥�
