Comedy duo Steve Martin and Martin Short are coming back to the Des Moines Civic Center for the third time to show off just how well they can roast each other. All in the name of friendship.
Their humor is often described as 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, according to a news release.
What sets it apart is the intimate chemistry: Martin’s dry, precise mischief colliding with Short’s elastic characters and musical parodies, plus top-tier musicianship.
