Martin Short Tickets

Great entertainer. Continuous laughs. Got to be one of the 3 Amigos on stage. Definitley worth seeing.

We would go see him again at any opportunity as he put on one of the most clever and funny shows we've ever seen. His interaction with the audience was first-class, and the show moved quickly from one theme to another without any undue pauses.

Very disappointed that Martin made no references to SCTV where he really got his start and no reference to his Canadian fellow comedians especially the late John Candy. Although he only used one expletive - thank you - the bathroom humour bordered on disgusting.

Martin Short's performance was short on comedy.The show included video clips from his more successful days and although he returned to the stage several times in his old characters, most of the show was about name dropping smoozing with big celebrities and stories. It was interesting if you just wanted to see Martin Short in person but I was looking more for comedy not how far he's come from his Canadian days.

Martin Short displayed a very impressive range of comical talent and creativity. His interaction with the audience was warm and highly humorous. For a person who has experienced alot of trauma and grief in his life one would never know it. He made us laugh whole heartedly and thank goodness included Canadian content in his dialogue and show. I consider Marty to be a comic genius and would love to see him again and again !!!!!!!!!!

Both my Husband and I enjoyed the show very much. Its been quite awhile since we have seen him.

Martin sprung onto the stage - no warm up act - and immediately began a routine of story telling, song, dance, impersonations and humour that lasted a full 90 minutes. And it left you wanting for more. Martin spins you through an emotional gamut - humour, inspiration, and melancholy with nothing more than piano accompaniment and decades of one man showmanship. Thanks Martin - it truly was a blast.

very good show. I recommend to other friends and relatives

Enjoying Martin Short in person was what drew us in to buying tickets for this event. But he fell short of our expectations: Apart from bringing out his two well-known characters, Short himself seemed poorly prepared for this event. (1) He heralded the other comedians as all being from Canada. Other than himself, only one was Canadian--maybe; we're not even sure now. (2) He seemed to turn too often to using his pianist as a joke-point rather than having plenty of new material ready; and (3) His sudden launch into a song about the death of bin Laden was really surprising--not at all in the realm of comedy, a primarily U.S.-focussed topic, and a violent theme that certainly did not elicit laughter, which was what we and those around us (equally bemused) expected to be doing that evening. We got the impression that this song was something that he dredged up from a previous performance rather than being an original work specifically for this gala. In short (no pun intended), Mr. Short seemed to come to this "gala" quite empty-handed. The British guy was delightful--he's really coming along! The Australian was excellent--we'd pay to see him alone. The other two men were mediocre and need to hone their craft considerably. The female was dismal. Considering that Martin Short was the headline for this gala, we were surprised that he seemingly had no input into the selection of those who were to follow him. Certainly, he knew nothing about them. We also were surprised by the wildly mixed quality of those comedians, who for a "gala", we had been anticipating much better EXCEPT FOR THE BRIT AND THE AUSSIE, BOTH OF WHOM HAD WELL-THOUGHT-OUT, VERY WELL-DELIVERED, AND REALLY FUNNY ROUTINES. The rest, including Martin Short, were a waste of $$ and time.

I thought this was an evening with Martin Short; I had not realized that he would be primarily presenting other comedians. Had I known this I would not have been interested.

Martin Short is a Canadian treasure. He is multi-talented -- comedy, singing, some dancing. He adlibs brilliantly. He plays several memorable characters as well. The comedians were a mixed bag -- John Dore, Phil Harmley and Wil Anderson were very good.

The advertising for this event was deceptive at best. It was a surprise to find out, once there, that there were six comedians lined up for this performance, and that they would take up the majority of the evening. Martin Short, aside from a couple side bits, was more the MC than anything else. Fair enough: Martin Short is the MCs for six comedians. But that's how it should've been advertised. I spoke to a number of people that night about how the gala was put on, and everyone expected some kind of warm-up act before Short, and then, after the intermission, an hour or so of him. John Dore needs notes to remind him about his "jokes"? Did he take his appearance very seriously? A couple of the young comedians were quite funny, but out of a wonderful city like Vancouver, those chosen didn't seem to be the best you could've found. Bottom line: customers shouldn't have to do deep research in the internet to find out what kind of performance is being planned. It should be as straight forward as possible in the announcement.

Have never been to a comedy event. Had the best time! Can't wait tll next time.

This show consisted of 6 comedians and Martin. I would have prefered seeing much more of Martin but understand that the others were needed while Martin changed into his variety of characters etc. While I'd say the back up troup was average, the female comedian was like a deer hit by a car on the highway. You just wanted to shoot her to put her out of her misery. Martin Short is such a talented performer and a joy to see. My favorite characters are Ed Grimly and Jiminy Glick. Jiminy killed it when he stuffed donuts into his mouth and jumped on Sophie, his "interviewee"! Martin has a powerful singing voice and is a great star to see. I'd like to see Martin spend some time talking about himself and maybe some life stories or interacting with the audience, but again, that's just to see more of Marty.

My husband and I took in the show, we loved it! Martin Short was very entertaining and hilarious.

I liked that he played all the different characters that he has done over the years. He was also interactive by bringing 3 men on stage to do the 3 amigos. He made us laugh and that is a good thing.

Martin Short is super funny. It was great to view him in person. Very little opportunity to do so... Must see if you can!!

Martin Short was absolutely hysterical. He is charming, hilarious and extemely talented. Stand up, video clips, impersonations, storytelling, singing and improv made this show a night to remember. We laughed out loud all the way through, and were thoroughly entertained, as Martin gave us exactly what we came for - most beloved moments from his long and successful career on stage, T.V. and in the movies. What a treat!

Martin Short was hilarious. He didn't play second fiddlle to anyone and you could see how great he really was. All round talent with singing, stand-up comedy, skits, impersinations and more... AND HE'S CANADIAN!!!! EH!

Brilliant show by Martin Short! Loved every minute, such a wonderful and talented man. Hope he comes back soon.
