SUMMARY:Steve Martin & Martin Short: The Dukes of Funnytown
DESCRIPTION:Steve Martin & Martin Short: The Dukes of Funnytown with very special guests Jeff Babko and The Steep Canyon Rangers appear on October 24\, 2025 at 8PM at the Embassy Theatre in Ft. Wayne\, IN! \nSteve Martin and Martin Short’s “The Dukes of Funnytown!” is a show that redefines the form in unexpected and profound ways\, from two of the funniest\, most influential and acclaimed talents of the past century. Their humor is often 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\, but the comedy truly soars when they lovingly (and relentlessly) roast each other. Martin and \nShort’s chemistry and timing on stage reflects a friendship forged over three decades which developed when they met for the first time on the set of the 1986 film “Three Amigos.” These two titans of comedy have been touring together since 2015\, when they launched their first live show entitled “A Very Stupid Conversation.” \nBUY TICKETS

SUMMARY:Brad Williams:  The Growth Spurt Tour
DESCRIPTION:Brad Williams:  The Growth Spurt Tour appears at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet\, IL on November 20\, 2025 at 7PM! \nPound for pound\, Brad Williams is the funniest comedian in the country right now\, and has become one of the most in-demand comedians working today. Williams started doing stand-up comedy as a teenager and has been touring successfully ever since\, routinely selling out prestigious venues all over the country and world. \nWilliams has parlayed his live performances into a multitude of stand-up television appearances\, including The Tonight Show\, Dave Attell’s Comedy Underground\, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. His first one-hour special\, Fun Size\, was the highest rated special on Showtime\, and a year later\, he followed that up with his second one\, Daddy Issues\, which was even more successful than the first. His third special in three years was an uproarious one\, hosting some of the edgiest comedians in the country from the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs Festival. His last groundbreaking special on Netflix\, The Degenerates\, garnered more huge ratings and rave reviews. \nAlso an accomplished actor\, Williams has appeared on numerous TV shows and feature films\, including FX’s Legit\, Sam and Cat\, Mind of Mencia\, Pitboss\, a recurring role on the Hulu original show Deadbeat\, and memorable roles in a plethora of movies\, including Little Evil\, produced by Scott Stuber (Ted)\, as well as the Netflix original Christopher Guest film\, Mascots\, and most recently Reno 911: It’s A Wonderful Heist. \nRecently\, Brad became the first stand-up comedian to headline a Cirque de Soleil show in their 30 year history\, when he agreed to launch—and do a three month run of—their newest show Mad Apple\, at the magnificent 1200 seat New York New York Theater in Las Vegas. The show became an immediate smash hit to rave revues\, singling out Williams for his incredible ability to captivate his audiences with his extraordinary performances. \nIn addition to stand-up and acting\, Williams co-created and co-hosted one of the most successful podcasts in the world\, with friend and fellow comic Adam Ray\, entitled About Last Night\, which was always a mainstay on the iTunes charts during their five year run. Additionally\, he is also a regular contributor with a series of incredibly funny appearances on several national radio and podcast platforms\, including KROQ’s Kevin and Bean Show and The Adam Carolla Show.\nWilliams’ humorous and inspiring observations on disability\, relationships\, sex\, and race consistently win over audiences; proving anyone can overcome their shortcomings. His high energy live performances frequently produce standing ovations from audience members; which prompted the late Robin Williams to call him “Prozac with a head.” \nBUY TICKETSRialto
