No matter where you live, Tracy Morgan is ready to make you laugh.

Just days after his impressive hosting gig on Saturday Night Live, the comedian has announced plans for a stand-up tour titled "Picking Up the Pieces."

"Heading back out on the road to bring the funny," Morgan shared on his Twitter account Tuesday morning with a list of stops and ticket information. "Come see me."

According to the schedule, the fun will begin Feb 5. in Hammond, Ill., and conclude on May 28 in Westhampton Beach, New York. More dates are expected to be announced at a later day.

It's the latest step in Morgan's comeback after suffering a traumatic brain injury in a June 2014 car accident.  Earlier this summer, the 46-year-old appeared on Today and NBC Nightly News where he expressed his desire to return to any stage in the future.

"I have my good days and my bad days. Sometimes, I don't feel well. Sometimes emotionally I don't feel well and I'm not ready for crowds of people," he admitted to Matt Lauer. "I'm really focused on my memory coming back to me, my walking getting better, my balance is still off so I have to really focus on those things before I'm out here."

More than three months later, Morgan made a surprise appearance at the 2015 Emmy Awards where he presented one of the final trophies of the night.

"I miss you guys so much," he explained after receiving a standing ovation. "I'm here standing on my own two feet."

Since then, Morgan has obtained a movie role and reunited with his 30 Rock co-stars including Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin at his old "home" of Saturday Night Live.

"I love comedy. I love comedy. I will never stop loving her," Morgan shared on Today. "I'll get back to making you laugh. I promise you."
