Steve Martin and Martin Short Upcoming Events & Tickets
Event Details
TOUR: Comedy legends Steve Martin and Martin Short are reuniting for their highly anticipated 2025 tour, titled “The Dukes of Funnytown!”. This marks their fourth joint tour and promises an evening of rapid-fire laughs, occasional banjo performances, and beloved characters like Short’s Jiminy Glick. The pair are joined onstage by the bluegrass ensemble Steep Canyon Rangers and jazz pianist Jeff Babko, adding musical flair to the comedic romp. Their warm chemistry — which began with the 1986 film Three Amigos! and continued through collaborations like Father of the Bride and Only Murders in the Building — makes their live shows as heartfelt as they are hilarious.
The tour kicks off on August 22 in Seattle and stretches through December, including stops in Appleton, Grand Rapids, Virginia Beach, Richmond, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, Knoxville, Durham, Indianapolis, Boston, Pittsburgh, and concludes with back-to-back shows at Albany’s Palace Theatre on December 4, followed by Wallingford on December 5. Fans can expect a riot of comedy — snappy dialogue, playful banjo riffs, and spot-on satire of Hollywood and celebrity culture, all delivered at breakneck pace. A glowing review of their 2019 show captured the spirit of these performances: “Good‑natured one‑upmanship ruled the night… closing bit when they read eulogies for each other that were both hilarious and wickedly mean.” — New York Post.
