Feldman Agency Launches  IP Firm With New Metric Media

By David Farrell

Toronto and LA-based New Metric Media has created a new content development company with The Feldman Agency to shepherd various media into touring attractions.


Titled Tourbo, the newco is born out of an earlier collaboration in transforming the popular Letterkenny TV cast into a successful live show that toured Canada. A North American tour was aborted due to covid. The television show, heading into its ninth season, is broadcast on Crave in Canada and Hulu in the U.S.

Going forward, Tourbo plans to licence other IP brands using the same path. Some of the properties may be existing podcasts or tv shows that will be adapted to become touring entities. Others may be scripts or scripted ideas that can be developed into streaming or tv properties first and then developed as touring shows.

“Although this current environment may seem like an interesting time to start a live-based venture, we feel strongly about the potential for content and opportunities,” said Jeff Craib, president of The Feldman Agency. “We’ve had a great experience building the Letterkenny Live business together and anticipate the same level of success with our new projects under the Tourbo banner.”

“We are thrilled to build on our successful relationship with Jeff and The Feldman Agency to create an exciting opportunity to further connect fans with their favourite brands,” said Mark Montefiore, president of New Metric Media. “We are in a world where we are so connected virtually, yet disconnected physically, so we’ll be ready to rock once the curtains rise again.”

Lady Gaga Takes Mayhem Ball on a Victory Lap With Second North American Leg in 2026: Here Are the Dates

The pop superstar will visit a new set of cities next year, including two nights in Montreal.

For months now, Lady Gaga has been asking her fans “How Bad Do U Want Me” during her sold-out run of the Mayhem Ball. With the emphatic response she’s gotten, the pop star is ready to give fans even more of what they want.

Gaga announced a second North American leg of The Mayhem Ball on Tuesday (Sept. 9), set to take place in early 2026. With a new run of 21 added dates, Mother Monster will visit cities that she wasn’t able to reach with her first run of the Mayhem Ball — such as Atlanta, Austin, Boston and Washington, D.C. — as well as two encore performances each to Los Angeles’ Kia Forum and New York’s Madison Square Garden.
