Fred Armisen loves everything he does creatively — a wide swath that includes acting, writing and producing for television, movies and stage

But running consistent throughout the “Saturday Night Live” and “Portlandia” alumnus’ work is a love of music, one of the reasons his latest stand-up tour is called “Comedy For Musicians But Everyone is Welcome.”

“My main subject is music,” Armisen, 58, says via phone from a tour stop in Louisville. “It’s about how we all listen to music and our reactions to certain genres and styles. I do impressions of styles and stuff. I play a little guitar. I play a little drums. I do a couple songs from fake bands I’ve been in on ‘Saturday Night Live’ and ‘Documentary Now!’

“It’s kind of a combination of all that. As corny as it sounds, it’s a celebration of being a music and listening to music. It’s something that’s easy for me; I don’t have to struggle to think of what the joke is.”

Armisen has logged time as a “serious” noncomedic musician — with his punk rock band Trenchmouth, with Blue Man Group, for 10 years leading the 8G Band on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” and occasionally playing drums for Devo, including at the “SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert” in February in New York City. But the Peabody Award winner — whose “Standup For Drummers” took home a Grammy Award in 2019 for Best Comedy Album — is happy to keep the music part of his comedy universe right now.

“I understand my place as a comedian,” says Armisen, whose upcoming projects include a second season as Uncle Fester on Netflix’s “Wednesday” and as the dachshund Fetch in the streamer’s animated series “Fixed.” “There’s no part of me that’s like, ‘But people need to see my serious songwriting side!’ The area where songwriting comes easily to me is with parody, mimicking genres.

“There are plenty of brilliant songwriters and musicians out there. They don’t need me to add to it. Tim Heidecker and Matt Berry … I admire their serious music, but that’s almost like a separate entity with them. I haven’t been moved to do the same thing.”
