Kevin James is gearing up for his new standup comedy tour, and the actor-comedian grabbed the opportunity to cash in the internet meme fame as he decided to use the viral image (used as a template in several memes) to promote the upcoming tour.
Taking to Instagram, the actor posted his meme image. The image features a shot of Kevin from the TV sitcom The King of Queens, which features him shrugging while both of his hands remain in his pockets, and he displays a sheepish grin.
He turned the picture into a poster to promote his upcoming standup comedy tour. The actor wrote on the borders of the image, “The double hands in the pocket” on top of the image, “Almost a smile” on the right side, “2 hands 2 pockets” on the left side, and “Sheepishly coming to a city near you…[sic]” at the bottom of the poster.
Kevin captioned the post, “Gearing up for my Stand Up Tour… so happy I found this headshot.”
