Steve Martin & Martin Short
You Won't Believe What They Look Like Today
Featuring Jeff Babko and The Steep Canyon Rangers

Two of the funniest and most influential talents of the past century come together for a night of irrepressible laughter. Their humor is often subversive and joyously self-deprecating, driven to make each other laugh as much as the audience. The jokes come at you at a rapid-fire pace with little set-up and big punch lines as they mock Hollywood and the fickle nature of celebrity. The performance truly soars when they lovingly roast each other. Martin and Short's chemistry and timing on stage reflects a friendship forged over three decades.
