Thursday, May 1 – Comedians Tina Fey & Amy Poehler

Alright, Tony Price back at Red Rocks, and kicking off May 2025 with a double dose of comedic brilliance on Thursday, May 1st – the legendary Tina Fey and Amy Poehler! Now, this was a highly anticipated event, and I was ready for a night of sharp wit and side-splitting humor under those majestic stars.

Given that it was early May in Colorado, the weather was likely pretty pleasant – hopefully a mild evening perfect for an outdoor comedy show. Maybe a light jacket would have been a good call, but nothing too heavy to hinder the laughter.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are comedic powerhouses, known for their incredible chemistry, their smart and insightful humor, and their ability to tackle a wide range of topics with intelligence and wit. I was expecting a night of sharp observations, hilarious anecdotes, and maybe even some of their classic on-stage banter.

The crowd would have been buzzing with excitement – a diverse mix of fans eager to see these two comedic icons live. There's a different kind of energy at a comedy show like this; it's focused on listening intently and reacting with big laughs, creating a real sense of shared enjoyment.

The stage setup for a comedy show at Red Rocks is usually simple, allowing the comedians to be the center of attention. With two such dynamic personalities on stage, all that was likely needed were a couple of microphones and the stunning natural backdrop to amplify the humor.

Knowing Fey and Poehler's history, I wouldn't have been surprised to see some of their signature back-and-forth, maybe even some playful ribbing and reminiscing about their time together on SNL and beyond. Their chemistry is a big part of their appeal.

Now, if I have to put on my "Tony's Comedy Connoisseur" hat, this would have been a masterclass in comedic delivery and writing. Both Fey and Poehler are incredibly talented and have a way of making even the most mundane observations hilarious and relatable. A night with these two at Red Rocks would have been a real treat for anyone who appreciates smart, well-crafted comedy.

Overall, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler at Red Rocks on that Thursday night in May 2025 likely provided an unforgettable evening of laughter and comedic brilliance. It's fantastic to see such renowned comedic talent gracing that iconic stage, proving that Red Rocks can deliver just as much joy through humor as it does through music. Tony Price, signing off – still smiling just thinking about the potential punchlines!
