Madonna’s Tour Announcement Video Includes Every Name in Comedy Her Publicist Could Think Of

As part of it, the Material Girl makes out with Jack Black in a bizarre game of ‘Truth or Dare’

“Truth or Dare?” It’s the game that everyone played in their tweens to entertain each other until more mature pastimes were available, yet, somehow, Madonna is still obsessed with the party game 32 years after the release of the documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare. This morning, the mononymous music superstar released an homage to her 1991 film which shows her playing a salacious round of the game with some of the biggest and most current names in comedy as a star-studded announcement for the “Celebration Tour.”

The video is a veritable “who’s who” of comedians that a 64-year-old celebrity’s PR representatives would want attached to their star’s name: A-listers like Kate Berlant, Larry Owens, Bob the Drag Queen (who will be performing on this tour) and Megan Stalter also ed the Queen of Pop in her chaotic party game. Oh, also, Lil Wayne and Diplo were there, because this video is an insane, postmodern amalgamation of star power and depravity. 

If you’ve ever wanted to watch Madonna make out with Jack Black and see Diplo dip his balls in a margarita, now is your chance.

Madonna described herself as “kind of a closeted comedian” when she Hacks co-star Jean Smart.

Even if we cynically assume that Stalter, Owens and Berlant were cast in order to help Madonna appeal to a younger audience that was barely out of kindergarten when Tina Fey accused the pop superstar of “clinging to youth with her Gollum arms,” publicity stunts like that raise the profiles of everyone involved — and anything that helps out uniquely talented comedians is a force for good in our hellish modern media landscape.

If only Madonna had made this announcement a couple years earlier — someone could have dared Judd Apatow to not make The Bubble.
