Comedian Taylor Calmus will film two live comedy specials for his show "Parents' Night Out" at the Boulder Theater in Colorado this week [1].
The event marks a transition for Calmus, known online as "Dude Dad," from digital content creation to a recorded live stage production. By filming these specials, the Colorado-based creator aims to bring his father-focused humor to a physical audience while capturing the performance for broader distribution.
Calmus is a father of four and has built a significant following through relatable comedy centered on parenthood [1]. The upcoming engagement at the Boulder Theater consists of two separate tapings [1]. These recordings are scheduled for 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. [1].
There is a slight discrepancy in reporting regarding the exact date of the performances. Some records list the event for May 8, 2026 [2], while others indicate it will take place on May 9, 2026 [1].
Tickets for the event originally went on sale on Friday, Oct. 17, at 10 a.m. [1]. The production is designed to capture the energy of a live crowd, an essential element for the "Parents' Night Out" format.
Calmus has utilized his platform to discuss the challenges and humor of raising children. This live series serves as a formal expansion of that brand into the realm of stand-up specials. The Boulder Theater will serve as the backdrop for these recordings, providing a professional venue for the two scheduled tapings [1].
