Steve Martin and Martin Short: ‘You Won’t Believe What They Look Like Today!’ and Steep Canyon Rangers (Thurs., 9/14/23)

Two Martins, three nights. If you enjoyed Martin Short and Steve Martin’s witty banter in films such as 1986’s Three Amigos and 1991’s Father of the Bride, then check out their joint performance at the Benedum Center. Both comedians appear in the hit series “Only Murderers in the Building.” Short was a “Saturday Night Live” cast member for only one season (’84-’85), but he is credited, along with other members of that cast, with helping to revive the series. In addition to film, he has also performed on Broadway, including a one-man show, Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me. Steve Martin is an accomplished writer and actor, and he has hosted “Saturday Night Live” 16 times, second only to Alec Baldwin, who has hosted 17 times. Martin plays banjo and has frequently collaborated with Grammy-winning bluegrass band Steep Canyon Rangers. The group and Jeff Babko will perform with both comedians this evening. 7:30 p.m. 237th 7th St., Cultural District. (C.M., R.H.)
