Steve Martin & Martin Short, Jeff Dunham and Sarah Silverman to take stages
CLEARWATER — Steve Martin & Martin Short bring “The Dukes of Funnytown,” featuring Jeff Babko and other very special guests, to the Tampa Bay area for a performance on Friday, Jan. 10, 8 p.m., at Ruth Eckerd Hall, 1111 McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater.
Tickets start at $103.25. Call 727-791-7400 or visit www.rutheckerdhall.com.
Steve Martin and Martin Short’s “The Dukes of Funnytown” is a show that redefines the form in unexpected and profound ways, from two of the funniest, most influential and acclaimed talents of the past century. Their 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 forged over three decades which developed when they met for the first time on the set of the 1986 film “Three Amigos.” These two titans of comedy have been touring together since 2015, when they launched their first live show titled “A Very Stupid Conversation.”
