Postponing 'C5 Carnival' to Spring 2026..

What's up y'all,

I regret to inform you guys that I will be postponing my upcoming tour, ‘C5 Carnival’ to the Winter/Spring of 2026 and will be providing a new routing schedule ASAP for mostly every date on the calendar. 

To keep it real, the escalating political rhetoric in the U.S. along with the general low-security nature of Channel 5 events has made me feel uneasy about visiting 28 cities in the immediate future, especially given our recent coverage. 

I don't want to freak you guys out or dive into threats - but I'll just say that there are, quantitatively, more politically charged psychos than ever before, many of whom have firearms and do not like me. 

I'm not only bummed because I love interacting with supporters, but I also really need money to continue fighting this Bill Joiner lawsuit, which has been trending negatively after a federal judge struck down our anti-SLAPP motion. Touring is quite lucrative and this certainly would have helped. 

But as I’m getting older, I’ve started to take my safety a bit more seriously and can’t afford to perish before the mission is complete. We are at a pivotal moment. In the absence of reliable news, I recognize the service that Channel 5 provides and have to be around to drive the boat. Below is the new tour and the venues will be updating their websites ASAP and sending messaging out. Your tickets will be honored for the rescheduled date, unless you choose to receive a refund which the venues will of course honor.

I don’t want to make any of you upset and hope you all can understand.
