Duff Goldman is stepping out of the bakery and onto the stage, bringing his first-ever live theater tour, Duff Goldman Presents: The Tao of Duff, on an exclusive 11-city tour this fall.
The celebrity chef, television personality, and New York Times best-selling author trades the cake shop for the stage in a genre-bending night of stand-up, storytelling and the science of baking. Duff Goldman takes audiences on a wild, flour-dusted ride. Along the way, he’ll stretch paper-thin phyllo, tell big stories, deliver even bigger laughs, and perhaps hand out a bit of apple strudel. It’s part history lesson, park baking demonstration, part stand-up comedy – and entirely Duff. Come for the pastry; stay for the stories.
For decades, Duff Goldman 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 stints in fast food joints, fine-dining kitchens and metal bands, to building the cake empire that made him a household name. Part history lesson, part baking class, part stand-up set, but entirely Duff.
"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," said Goldman. 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 lead 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. In 2026, Duff opened his first restaurant in partnership with Areas USA — Duff’s Deli + Market, located in the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Terminal C.
