Part history lesson, part baking demonstration, and part stand-up set, Duff Goldman will stretch paper-thin phyllo dough live onstage, share behind-the-scenes stories, and hand out apple strudel at Texas Theater (tk) this Sun, Oct 11, at 8pm. Yes, the celebrity chef, TV personality, and New York Times bestselling author is trading the cake shop for the stage in a genre-bending night of stand-up, storytelling, and the science of baking on an 11-city tour.
The Tao of Duff takes audiences on a wild, flour-dusted journey through Goldman’s life. For decades, Duff has been telling stories through cake for presidents, rock stars, and royalty, and now this fall, he’s telling his own story, from his great-grandmother outrunning Cossacks to his stints in fast-food joints, fine-dining kitchens, and metal bands, to building the cake empire that made him a household name.
“I’m going to bake, tell stories nobody’s heard, and probably say something I shouldn’t,” Goldman said. “You can’t get that from a TV screen. You have to be in the room.”
Goldman rose to fame on Food Network’s Ace of Cakes, where he and his team at Charm City Cakes reinvented what a custom cake could be. He now mentors the next generation of bakers on the network’s Baking Championship: Next Gen and serves as judge on Holiday Baking Championship. His cookbook Super Good Baking for Kids debuted on the New York Times bestseller list, and fans can bring a taste of Duff home through his cakes on GoldBelly, party essentials on Hallmark.com, and baking kits from Baketivity.
Presented by Spune Productions, this event is part of the theater’s ongoing Live Events series. Tickets for Duff Goldman Presents: The Tao of Duff are $38.66 at TheTexasTheatre.com.
