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.

Ignore the haters! People today don't understand tasteful, articulate, and classic humor. Martin and Short are hilarious, delivering their lines with ease and yet with a dab of spontaneity. Their comedy isn't too off color but has a bit of an edge surrounded with a family vibe. The music was great too! Watch and appreciate these legends.

35 years on stage. I am 40 years old. These guys are my whole life. forget the 2000 births learned on the comedy disney channel. this show is gorgeous. It's like it's been around for 35 years.

The concept is heartening, if not the execution. My wife went to see this show last year and said it was much funnier in person (also adding that it's been truncated for Netflix consumption). Martin and Short are two reliable names in comedy, and getting to see these two on stage is appealing, let me tell you. Not all of the jokes were gold, and only a couple of them really close the deal.

But as much as Steve Martin owns the stage with his banjo (and a top-shelf backing from the Steep Canyon Rangers), Martin Short's mildly deranged sense of humor provides the memorable gags.

In the end, an enjoyable evening.
