Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are one of the most hilarious comedy duos of their generation, and their partnership is a gift that keeps on giving. After collaborating on several projects, the former Saturday Night Live co-stars are getting ready to launch their first comedy tour together.

Tina Fey & Amy Poehler: Restless Leg Tour has been described as a celebration of “thirty years of friendship with an evening of jokes, iconic stories, and conversational entertainment.” Following its official announcement, the duo jokingly said, “If this tour goes right, we can finally end this friendship!”

The tour will kick off with a limited run of four shows this spring, taking place in Washington, Chicago, Boston, and Atlantic City. No additional dates were indicated in the official announcement, but we’re not ruling out the possibility the SNL duo will include them in the future.

Fey and Poehler met in their early 20s, and their rise to prominence started when they both joined Saturday Night Live. They quickly went on to become one of the show’s dynamic duos and made history as Weekend Update’s first all-female anchor team.

Following their departure from SNL, Fey and Poehler co-hosted Golden Globes on four separate occasions, in addition to co-starring in several movies, including Mean Girls, Baby Mama, Sisters, and Wine Country.
