SNL Cast Members Past and Present Coming to Comedy Works

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will be at Red Rocks this summer, but they aren't the only Saturday Night Live stars coming to town in the coming months.

Four past and present SNL cast members are coming to Comedy Works, with shows at both the downtown and Greenwood Village locations booked for March to June. The club is no stranger to SNL comics, having hosted performers like Leslie Jones and Darrell Hammond.

While SNL created buzz with its recent fiftieth-anniversary events, Comedy Works CEO Wende Curtis didn't book these acts because of the anniversary. "I always base current SNL cast members based on their taping schedule," she says. "And summer is always a good bet, but also I've gotten lucky with some of them on their hiatus weeks."

Here are the four current and former SNL comics coming to Comedy Works:
Michael Longfellow
March 13-15

Michael Longfellow made his late-night debut on Conan in 2018 and has been an SNL cast member since season 48. In his first episode, he talked about conservative and anti-vax family members on Weekend Update. "This year in March, we had a fallout, and Michael Longfellow happened to be available. He was on my list anyway," Curtis says. "Score! That worked out well." Tickets for his Comedy Works show range from $20 to $35 and can be purchased here.
