Still Got It!
Stand-up (ore sit-down) live comedy shows have to be the most difficult to perform. And, yet, these two masters of the art carried it off nicely. I loved the show's varied composition (duo stand-up, solo stand-up, prop work, musical comedy, casual sit-down "conversation/reflection", etc.), even though I was initially turned off by the inclusion of the interlude with the Steep Canyon Rangers. But, even that turned around to be impressively entertaining, particularly when fully understanding the talented relationship Steve Martin has with the group. I'm not a big fan of the Abraham Chavez Theatre (when the much nicer Plaza Theatre is only a block away and was available that night). One of the lesser reasons -- the greater reasons being associated with the poor seating -- is that the sound there is routinely poorly managed. Steve Martin, in particular, seemed to have a poor wireless mic. Martin Short, instead, seemed to resort to a hand-held mic in an effort to get a slightly better result. But, the poor sound quality notwithstanding, the live performance provided by these two legendary comedians was worth the hefty ticket price. They've still got it!
