Duff Goldman, the renowned chef and television personality, is about to embark on an exciting new venture: his very first solo live theater tour titled 'Duff Goldman Presents The Tao of Duff'. This innovative tour will span across 11 cities, kicking off on September 30, 2026, in Seattle, Washington, and will continue through mid-November with stops in cities such as San Francisco, Dallas, New York, and Chicago.
This tour promises to take audiences on a whimsical and flour-filled journey through Duff's extraordinary life. For years, Goldman has crafted exquisite stories through the medium of cake, serving celebrities, presidents, and even royalty. Now, he aims to share his own personal story, recounting everything from incredible family tales involving his great-grandmother to his unique experiences in fast food restaurants, high-end kitchens, and even heavy metal bands. Attendees can expect to see him stretch paper-thin phyllo dough live on stage while sharing anecdotes about his remarkable experiences and cracking jokes along the way. Think of it as part cooking demonstration, part history lesson, and a whole lot of comedy — all presented by the vibrant and charismatic Duff Goldman.
Goldman first gained widespread recognition on the Food Network's Ace of Cakes, where he redefined the realm of custom cake creation at his renowned bakery, Charm City Cakes. Today, he continues to inspire budding bakers as a mentor on the network's Baking Championship Next Gen, and he serves as a judge on the Holiday Baking Championship. Additionally, his cookbook, Super Good Baking for Kids, was a hit, landing on the New York Times bestseller list. Fans can easily bring a piece of Duff's culinary magic into their own kitchens through cakes available on GoldBelly, essential party items on Hallmark.com, and baking kits from Baketivity.
Goldman enthusiastically stated, "I'm going to bake, tell stories nobody's heard, and probably say something I shouldn't. You can't get that from a TV screen — you have to be in the room". His approach to this live touring experience showcases his signature blend of baking expertise and engaging storytelling, which is sure to captivate his fans.
