The '''Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour''' was a [[concert tour]] performed by American musician and satirist [["Weird Al" Yankovic]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.stereogum.com/1967153/no-frills-weird-al-tour-to-feature-obscure-songs-no-costumes/news/ |title="No Frills" Weird Al Tour To Feature Obscure Songs, No Costumes |last1=Rettig |first1=James |date=October 13, 2017 |website=[[Stereogum]] |publisher=[[Eldridge Industries]] |access-date=June 18, 2018}}</ref> Intended to be a more intimate and less stylized production compared to his previous concert tours, the Vanity Tour focused on Yankovic's older material and original songs. The 76-date North American tour was announced in October 2017, and included 68 shows in the [[United States]] and eight shows in [[Canada]]. Following the conclusion of the tour, recordings of the entire tour were released on [[Stitcher Radio|Stitcher Premium]].
==Background==
In a departure from his previous concert tours, Yankovic set out on The Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour with the intention to produce a more intimate, less stylized show than his preceding concert tours, describing the Vanity Tour as having an "extremely limited appeal" by design, and inspired by the staging of ''[[VH1 Storytellers]]'' and ''[[MTV Unplugged]]''.<ref name="cos-1">{{cite web|last1=Geslani|first1=Michelle|title="Weird Al" Yankovic announces The Ridiculously Self-Indulgent Ill-Advised Vanity Tour|url=https://consequenceofsound.net/2017/10/weird-al-yankovic-announces-the-ridiculously-self-indulgent-ill-advised-vanity-tour/|website=[[Consequence of Sound]]|publisher=Consequence Holdings, LLC|access-date=October 14, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171014214837/https://consequenceofsound.net/2017/10/weird-al-yankovic-announces-the-ridiculously-self-indulgent-ill-advised-vanity-tour/|archive-date=October 14, 2017|date=October 14, 2017}}</ref><ref name="grammys-1">{{cite web|last1=Haack|first1=Brian|title='Weird Al' Yankovic Announces 'Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour'|url=https://www.grammy.com/grammys/news/weird-al-yankovic-announces-self-indulgent-ill-advised-vanity-tour|website=[[Grammy Award]]s|publisher=[[The Recording Academy]]|access-date=October 14, 2017|archive-url=https://archive.today/20171014032356/https://www.grammy.com/grammys/news/weird-al-yankovic-announces-self-indulgent-ill-advised-vanity-tour|archive-date=October 14, 2017|date=October 12, 2017|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref name="vanyaland-1">{{cite web|last1=Marotta|first1=Michael|title=A different kind of 'Weird Al' Yankovic tour is coming to North America in 2018|url=http://www.vanyaland.com/2017/10/12/different-kind-weird-al-yankovic-tour-coming-north-america/|website=Vanyaland|access-date=October 14, 2017|archive-url=https://archive.today/20171014032335/http://www.vanyaland.com/2017/10/12/different-kind-weird-al-yankovic-tour-coming-north-america/|archive-date=October 14, 2017|date=October 12, 2017|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref> The absence of video screens and advanced lighting,<ref name="cos-1"/> along with the Vanity Tour's lack of his popular hits, costumes changes, props, and choreography present in Yankovic's previous tours allowed for a more flexible and unpredictable experience, to the testimonial approval of Yankovic himself and his touring band.<ref name="grammys-1"/><ref name="vanyaland-1"/> In the tour's October 2017 announcement across social media, Yankovic stated:
{{Cquote|text=By design, it has extremely limited appeal. Instead of doing festivals, fairs and arenas, we'll be doing small, intimate theatres. Instead of putting on a big flashy production, we'll be trying to go for something very informal and low-key… kind of an Unplugged/Storytellers vibe. Like we're just hanging out, playing in your living room. So if you've really got your heart set on seeing fat suits and Segways and hearing all your favorite parodies… this probably isn't the tour for you. Chances are we'll be doing that kind of show again sometime in the future, just not THIS time.|source="Weird Al" Yankovic<ref name="vanyaland-1"/>}}
The opening act was the comedian [[Emo Philips]], who had previously worked with Yankovic in his 1989 movie ''[[UHF (film)|UHF]]'' and 1997 TV series ''[[The Weird Al Show]]''.<ref>{{cite press release |last=Hopper |first=Ben |date=April 12, 2018 |title='Weird Al' abandons spectacle for 'intimate' new tour |url=https://www.upi.com/Weird-Al-abandons-spectacle-for-intimate-new-tour/9251523447332/ |location=[[Chicago]], [[Illinois]] |work=[[United Press International]] |access-date=June 18, 2018}}</ref>
