Steve Martin & Martin Short bring their live Dukes of Funnytown tour to DeVos Performance Hall on Saturday, September 6, 2025.

Featuring Jeff Babko and special guest Alison Brown and Fairweather Friends.

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 you 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 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 go on sale Friday, March 7th at 10:00AM. *Please note the box office will not be open for this on sale.

Tickets may be purchased at the box office or on-line at Ticketmaster.com. Ticket prices are subject to change. For current ticket prices, visit Ticketmaster.com. Ticket prices may vary, as market pricing applies to all tickets. Prices may fluctuate based on supply and demand.
