The legendary comedians Steve Martin and Martin Short, who collaborated on the Emmy-nominated Netflix special “An Evening You Will Forget For The Rest Of Your Life” last year, will crack wise September 28 at the Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo just across the state line.
The two wild and crazy guys, who have appeared on Saturday Night Live and in many Hollywood films in which snipers hate cans, will perform their new comedy special “Now You See Them, Soon You Won’t” in the Silver Creek Event Center at the casino at 11111 Wilson Road in New Buffalo, in the first Interstate 94 exit east of Michigan City.
“The comedy legends will present new material in a variety of musical sketches and conversations about their iconic careers, most memorable encounters, and of course, their legendary lives in show-business,” The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians said in a press release. “The duo will be joined on stage by American Bluegrass band Della Mae and Allison Brown as well as Jimmy Kimmel Live band member Jeff Babko.”
