Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, a truly iconic comedy duo, will take the stage in their first-ever joint live comedy tour
If this news isn’t just proof that dreams do come true. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, a comedy duo that has been downright iconic for literal decades now, is coming to a city near you. The pair of actors, writers, producers, SNL alums, and all-around hilarious women just announced that they’re doing the thing their fans have been hoping for basically forever: they’re going on a live comedy tour—together.
“Amy Poehler and Tina Fey: Restless Leg Tour” will kick off in Washington, D.C. on April 28. The pair then plan to stop in Chicago, Boston, and Atlantic City to “celebrate their 30 years of friendship with an evening of jokes, iconic stories, and conversational entertainment.”
Poehler and Fey announced the joint show in a video published by Rolling Stone.

“It’s gonna be an evening of comedy, conversation, improv, maybe a little slow-dancing between us. We don’t know yet!” Fey said in the video. “But it’s gonna be awesome.”
In an accompanying press release, the duo joked, “If this tour goes right, we can finally end this friendship!”
A joint tour featuring Fey and Poehler seems like it’s been years—if not decades—in the making. Since they met in 1993 at Chicago’s ImprovOlympic, the two women have worked together at Saturday Night Live and on hit films like Mean Girls, Baby Mama, and Sisters. They’ve also co-hosted the Golden Globes four times now, showing that their chemistry together onstage is just as delightfully hilarious as it’s been since the ’90s.
The only downside to this tour is that its dates and locations are limited. Better get on it!
