Scott Evans has always been a master at making people feel at home. His unique charm and vibrant personality shine through in his work, and he’s now taking that warmth on the road. The Emmy-nominated host behind the viral, Webby Award–winning series “House Guest” is embarking on a tour that transforms his beloved digital gathering space into an experience for live audiences.
With millions of views across various platforms, “House Guest” has become a staple of feel-good, soul-nourishing content. Audiences have come to expect not just entertainment, but also connection and community. The “House Guest Live” tour will kick off in New York City, then travel to Chicago and Atlanta, offering fans the chance to engage with the show in an entirely new way.
For Evans, this tour feels like a natural extension of what “House Guest” has always represented: connection. “What I am is an amplifier,” he expressed in a press release shared with theGrio. “I see the joy, the energy, and the purpose in people, and I draw that out. I seek it out.” This philosophy isn’t just an abstract idea; it’s the heartbeat of the show, creating a space where vulnerability, laughter, and affirmation harmoniously coexist.
The series has welcomed influential voices from various fields, including politics, entertainment, and Black culture. Guests like Vice President Kamala Harris, Cynthia Erivo, Niecy Nash-Betts, Keke Palmer, Leslie Jones, and Tina Knowles have all graced the show, sharing their unique stories and perspectives. “The show is meant to provide a burst of JOY to help us all get through these complicated times. Come for the fun, stay for the JOY,” Evans emphasizes.
Now, with “House Guest Live,” Evans aims to replicate that magic and intimacy directly in front of audiences. Each stop on the tour is guaranteed to feature special guests, along with delightful surprises that mirror the warmth and spontaneity fans have come to cherish online.
“I can’t wait to pull up on all our neighbors out there!” Evans exclaimed. “The calls, DMs, and comments made this tour happen, and we are about to get it together. We are so thankful for the love and support for this community. We have laughed, cried, enjoyed some good eats, and lifted each other up.”
