FORT WAYNE, Ind. (ADAMS) – Two famous comedians are going to perform in downtown Fort Wayne this fall. Steve Martin and Martin Short will bring their “The Dukes of Funnytown!” show to the Embassy Theatre.
The show is set for October 24th. General tickets go on sale Wednesday.
The Embassy released the following:
The Embassy Theatre is excited to announce that Steve Martin & Martin Short will bring “The Dukes of Funnytown!” with very special guests Jeff Babko and the Steep Canyon Rangers to the historic Embassy Theatre on Friday, October 24 at 8 PM. Tickets go on sale to Embassy members on Wednesday, March 5 at 10 a.m. and to the general public on Friday, March 7 at 10 a.m.
Steve Martin and Martin Short’s “The Dukes of Funnytown!” 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 the audience 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.
Martin and Short’s chemistry and timing on stage reflects a friendship forged over three decades, which developed when they met for the first time on the set of the 1986 film Three Amigos. These two titans of comedy have been touring together since 2015, when they launched their first live show entitled “A Very Stupid Conversation.”
TICKETS: $76, $96, $135, $155, $195 & $245 (plus applicable fees) can be purchased at fwembassytheatre.org, ticketmaster.com and the STAR Bank box office at the Embassy (260.424.5665) at 125 W. Jefferson Blvd., Fort Wayne.
