SUMMARY:Straight No Chaser:  Top Shelf Tour
DESCRIPTION:Straight No Chaser:  Top Shelf Tour appears on November 6 at 7PM at the Overture Center in Madison\, WI! \nIf the phrase “male a cappella group” conjures up an image of students in blue blazers\, ties\, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses… think again.

They have emerged as a phenomenon with a massive fanbase and a long list of accomplishments including 2 RIAA Gold Certified albums\, over 1.5 million concert tickets sold\, over 1 billion streams on Pandora\, and over 2 million albums sold worldwide. Straight No Chaser is the real deal\, the captivating sound of nine unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense… and with a sense of humor. \nSingle tickets go on sale Friday\, 7/26 at 11am!

SUMMARY:Steve Martin & Martin Short: “The Dukes of Funnytown!” with special guests Jeff Babko and the Steep Canyon Rangers
DESCRIPTION:Steve Martin & Martin Short: “The Dukes of Funnytown!” with special guests Jeff Babko and the Steep Canyon Rangers appear on October 6 at 7:30PM at the Overture Center in Madison\, WI! \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 Short’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.”
