Steve Martin and Martin Short: An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life

3/27/18. These two elder comedians of yore (yes, they are that old) are still pretty funny in this two-men show. Comedy usually doesn't age well but Martin and Short can still make it work. Catch for a stroll down memory lane.

I grew up watching these two in the movies and on TV and to see them again on stage it made my day!! Very funny stuff!! If your a fan like me you will definitely enjoy this!!! I have NO idea why some people rate this bad but Fake news is everywhere these days!

U follow?

I have watched quite a few Netflix comedy specials featuring comedians doing very difficult material, or doing very crude and modern stuff, so the offer of two Hollywood comedians hitting the screen did appeal to me. This delivered just what I had hoped, which is to say that it was polished, well-rehearsed, but very well-delivered. The setup is simple, which is that that Martin and Short open together, have some time on-stage alone, but mostly are together as a duo. They zing off each other in the way old pros do, and the one-liners are mostly strong.

There are a few comments here about them being elitist and talking themselves up as being famous, but I think those people miss that this is part of the joke. They actually jab at one another really well, each letting themselves be a target for the other. The chemistry is good throughout, and the two men are good individually and together, with timing and delivery from decades in the business. It feels a bit old fashioned compared to the more edgy (but less funny) Netflix comedy specials, but this is part of its charm and a bit part of it working.

Very polished, natural, charming, and funny throughout - well worth a look.

Steve Martin and Martin Short have been two of the most notable comedians of the past few decades, so it only makes sense that they would perform together. "Steve Martin and Martin Short: An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life" features their concert in Greenville, South Carolina. One fine performance. My favorite parts were the photos from their younger days, Martin playing the banjo, and Short in the costume (whether you use their first names or last names, it still sounds like one of their names).

I liked the movie, and I hope that these guys continue performing for as long as they can.

I wasn't sure what to expect, and quickly realized how baseless was my hesitation. These are two veteran titans of stage entertainment, who showed how it's really done. That is, not to knock other comedians, but these guys effortlessly generated laughs without rrsorting to cussing, pornographic or otherwise highly lewd commentary. It was very refreshing in that sense, and yet still had edge and challenge. IMO they really lived up to their legendary status.
