Martin and Short’s humor is often subversive, but it is always a joyous self-deprecating romp from two comedy masters 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, but the comedy truly soars when they lovingly (and relentlessly) roast each other.

Martin and Short’s chemistry and timing on stage reflects a friendship of more than three decades. They met for the first time on the set of the 1986 film “Three Amigos.”  They been touring together since 2016 when they launched their first live show titled “A Very Stupid Conversation.” The duo’s 2018 Netflix special, “An Evening You Will Forget for The Rest Of Your Life,” received four Emmy nominations.

Steve Martin is one of the most well-known talents in entertainment.  His work has earned him an Academy Award, five Grammy awards, an Emmy, the Mark Twain Award and the Kennedy Center Honors. 

Martin began his career on “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour” for which he earned his first Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing Achievement in Comedy, Variety or Music in 1969. In the mid-1970s, Martin shone as a stand-up on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” and NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” Martin has stared in iconic comedies including “The Jerk,” “Planes, Trains & Automobiles,” “Roxanne,” “Parenthood,” “L.A. Story,” “Father of the Bride” and “Bowfinger.”

As an author, Martin’s work includes the novel “An Object of Beauty,” the play “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” a collection of comic pieces, “Pure Drivel,” a best-selling novella, “Shopgirl,” and his memoir “Born Standing Up.” His play “Meteor Shower” premiered on Broadway in 2017 in a production starring Emmy Award-winner Amy Schumer, Keegan-Michael Key, Tony Award-winner Laura Benanti and Alan Tudyk, and was directed by four-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Zaks. Martin is also an accomplished Grammy Award-winning, boundary-pushing bluegrass banjoist and composer.

Martin Short, a celebrated comedian and actor, has won fans and accolades in television, film and theater since his breakout season on “Saturday Night Live” almost 30 years ago. He became a fan-favorite for his portrayal of characters such as Ed Grimley, lawyer Nathan Thurm and “legendary songwriter” Irving Cohen.

His popularity and exposure on “Saturday Night Live” led Short to cross over quickly into feature films. He made his debut in “Three Amigos” followed by roles in “Inner Space,” “Three Fugitives,” “Pure Luck,” ”Father of the Bride,” “Clifford,” “Father of the Bride II,” Tim Burton’s “Mars Attacks,” “Madagascar 3,” and “Frankenweenie.” Short’s voice was also featured in the animated holiday film “Elliot: The Littlest Reindeer,” which was released in November 2018.

An accomplished stage actor, Short won a Tony, Theatre World Award and an Outer Critics Circle Award for his role in the revival of “Little Me.” He was also nominated for a Tony and took home an Outer Critics Circle Award for the musical version of Neil Simon’s “The Goodbye Girl.” Short co-wrote and starred in “Fame Becomes Me” and most recently appeared on Broadway in Terrence McNally’s “It’s Only a Play.”

A two-time primetime Emmy winner and multi-nominated for both primetime and daytime Emmys, Short returned to television in 1998 for the miniseries “Merlin” and host of “The Martin Short Show.” In 2001, he launched the popular comedy “Primetime Glick” and in 2010 received critical acclaim for his role in FX’s drama series “Damages.”

Short has also returned to “SNL” as host three times and performed in the series’ landmark 40th anniversary special in February 2015. Other recent television credits include “Hairspray Live!,” “Maya & Marty,” “Mulaney,” “How I Met Your Mother” and the critically acclaimed PBS series “Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That.”

Short’s New York Times bestselling memoir, “I Must Say: My Life as a Humble Comedy Legend, was published in 2014.

In 1994, Short was awarded the Order of Canada — the Canadian equivalent to British knighthood. He was also inducted into the Canadian Walk of Fame in June 2000. In 2017, he received a Lifetime Artistic Achievement Award from the Governor-general of Canada
