Steve Martin, Martin Short: 2 Comedy Legends To Perform In Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH, PA — Comedians Steve Martin and Martin Short are touring together this year and one of their stops will be in Pittsburgh.

The pair are bringing their bringing their “You Won’t Believe What They Look Like Today!” tour to the Benedum Center of Sept. 15 and 16 at 8 p.m. Opening will be Jeff Babko and the Steep Canyon Rangers.

The two will be joined by special guests Jeff Babko and the Steep Canyon Rangers.

According to a Monday press release, the Martin-Short tandem performance "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."

The two comedians have toured together since 2015, when they launched their first live show titled, “A Very Stupid Conversation.”

Martin and Short, along with Selena Gomez, star in the Hulu series "Only Murders in the Building," which is returning later this year for its third season.

Tickets for the Benedum performance go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at TrustArts.org, by calling 412-456-6666, or in person at the Benedum box office.
