Comedy icons Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are bringing the laughs in 2025 with their Restless Leg Tour, which will make a stop at Texas Trust CU Theatre at Grand Prairie on Saturday, April 26.

The tour, which initially started in spring 2023, is adding 12 more dates, starting on March 29 in Orlando, Florida. In addition to Grand Prairie, they'll also perform in Houston on April 25.

Fans will see the duo celebrate their 30 years of friendship with an evening of jokes, iconic stories, and conversational entertainment.

Both Saturday Night Live alums, the two comedians went on to have extremely successful careers post-SNL.

Fey is known for creating and starring as Liz Lemon in 30 Rock, and for writing the screenplay for the hit comedy film, Mean Girls, which Fey subsequently adapted for Broadway and again as a musical feature film.

Poehler is known for her starring role on the Emmy-nominated NBC comedy series Parks and Recreation, and as the voice of Joy in the Inside Out film series.

The shows will start about a month after the 50th anniversary SNL celebration on February 16, where both actors will surely be present.

Tickets for the new tour dates go on sale on Friday, January 31 at 10 am at tinaamytour.com. Fans can also access the presale early starting on Wednesday, January 29 at 10 am with the code RESTLESS.

Massive EVO Entertainment venue will bring movies and bowling to Forney

A major new entertainment destination is coming to Forney: EVO Entertainment has broken ground on an 82,000-square-foot venue that will bring movies, dining, bowling, and games to the fast-growing North Texas city.

According to a release, it's slated to open in fall 2026 in the burgeoning The Village at Gateway development.

The new EVO Entertainment Forney will feature so many attractions, it calls for a bulleted list:

nine theaters, including one IMAX auditorium and two EVX auditoriums
a full-service bar and restaurant
an upper-level lounge area
event and conference spaces
22 bowling lanes
125+ arcade games
rock climbing walls
a multi-level ropes course
bumper cars
laser tag

A January 20 groundbreaking event brought together community leaders, development partners, and local stakeholders to turn the first dirt.

“In Forney, we talk a lot about ‘Forney Family,’ and that spirit truly matters here,” said Forney City Council member Zahnd Schlensker in a statement. “EVO embodies that same sense of family ... This project is about honoring the past while creating a place where new memories will be made for generations to come.”

EVO Entertainment has a connection to Forney: Company CEO Mitchell Roberts' grandfather Lee Roy Mitchell was founder and former chairman of the board of Cinemark and a Forney native who, the release says, "helped shape the modern cinema industry —making EVO’s return to the city a meaningful full-circle moment."

Forney is a fast-growing city in Kaufman County, about 21 miles east of Dallas. It will soon be home to North Texas' newest H-E-B supermarket.

Forney's Kaufman County neighbor of Crandall had the second-hottest U.S. ZIP code for movers at the end of 2025.

The area is one of North Texas' biggest "boomtowns."
