The pair's chemistry in "The Dukes of Funnytown!" is the result of a friendship of almost four decades, forged when they met in 1986 to film "The Three Amigos" with Chevy Chase.

Martin and Short have been touring critically lauded performances together since 2015, when they debuted their first live show, “A Very Stupid Conversation.” The two came to Columbus in 2017 with their show, “An Evening You’ll Forget for the Rest of Your Lives," and again in 2020 with "The Funniest Show in Town at the Moment."
They can also be seen with Selena Gomez in the mystery comedy-drama series "Only Murders in the Building" on Hulu, which has been renewed for a fourth season due to premiere in October.
