Comedy show featuring Steve Martin and Martin Short, with Jeff Babko and Steep Canyon Rangers.
Steve Martin & Martin Short bring The Best of Steve Martin & Martin Short to the Ryman Auditorium on Saturday, January 30, 2027. It's a comedy show that draws on two of the funniest, most influential, and acclaimed talents of the past century, with Jeff Babko and the Steep Canyon Rangers joining them on stage.
Their comedy is often subversive but always a joyous, self-deprecating romp in which the two masters drive each other to laugh as much as the audience. The jokes come at a rapid-fire pace and usually need very little set-up, so the momentum stays high throughout. It's the kind of thing that works because of the chemistry between them—two people who clearly enjoy each other's company as much as they enjoy the punchlines.
Martin and Short have been touring together since 2015, when they launched their first live show, A Very Stupid Conversation. This one is a continuation of that partnership, and it redefines the form of comedy in unexpected and profound ways. The Steep Canyon Rangers and Jeff Babko are part of the bill, so there's more to the night than just the two of them at the mics.
