About

As one of the most prolific multi-hyphenates in Hollywood, Steve Martin is accomplished in writing, acting, comedy, producing and music. His impressive banjo skills are currently available to ticket holders of his 2013 U.S. tour with the Steep Canyon Rangers and Edie Brickell. Though he is better known as a comedian and actor, especially for parts in "The Jerk," "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" and "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour," he began playing banjo at the tender age of 17—having learned the skill by slowing down his bluegrass vinyls to 16bpm. He routinely incorporated it into his stand-up shows and comedy albums, such as the endlessly quotable "A Wild and Crazy Guy," before launching a legitimate music career.

His first major musical success came from his 1978 single, “King Tut,” performed with his band the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Martin often chooses to duet or collaborate when it comes to performing concerts, playing with some of country’s greatest artists, like Dolly Parton and Earl Scruggs, the latter with whom he most recently collaborated on his rendition of "Foggy Mountain Breakdown," which won Best Country Instrumental Performance. As Martin moves away from comedy and toward serious film roles, writing projects and musical opportunities, he manages to maintain his populist, accessible persona while showcasing his tremendous talent, wit and skill in nearly every arena. His 2013 Love Has Come For You tour with Edie Brickell and the Steep Canyon Rangers is further proof of his unconditional prowess, as is the stage production, “Bright Star,” penned in partnership with Brickell. His comedic chops on film are undeniable, but the longer Steve Martin sticks around, the more fans discover that there’s so much more to him than funny faces.

    Naturally funny

    by Michy on 11/18/22Town Hall - New York

    Very different to anything I’ve seen on broadway. Such a pick me up of genuine and natural humor. Felt like we were all sitting with them in their living room. All we needed was a fireplace lol :)

    Fun night

    by Old fan on 11/18/22Town Hall - New York

    About a one hour conversation with Martin and Bliss with Lane moderating. Insightful and entertaining, low key, kind of like just hanging with them in a living room. I’ve been a fan of Steve Martins since the beginning. Would have preferred to see him up there doing stand up but as he won’t ever return to that ( his best choice, a loss for the rest of us) this was a great way to get to know him a little and a enjoyable evening. The book is a good read too btw!

    Disappointing

    by Hollis on 11/18/22Town Hall - New York

    I arrived 20 minutes early. In that time I was able to read the entire Steve Martin comic book, which was a mistake. The only stories he told came directly from the book, so basically I’d already heard them. He stayed for exactly one hour I guess it was tedious for him. I appreciated the questionnaire I was sent for an opportunity to give a question. However, seemed as though they only read one question from the audience. Didn’t seem like Steve Martin was actually revealing anything about himself.

    Steve Martin!!!

    by Bill A. on 5/14/22Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts - Greensboro

    It was fun to see humor icon Steve Martin. His interviewer Joel Stein did an adequate job. Not a lot of new information that wasn't in his autobiography, but fascinating to see him in person. A sell-out!

    Love Steve Martin

    by Maui Scott on 5/13/22Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts - Greensboro

    I’m a huge Steve Martin fan and bought last day tickets and had center stage row three seats, fabulous. Steve Martin was himself, funny, sincere and great to actually see. The moderator, Joel Stein, was not prepared and not the right personality for Steve Martin. A few questions and responses became more about him and that is not why the sold out crowd was there. His questions even irritated Steve Martin who did his best to correct it. The policy for the venue clearly stated that you could use cameras without a detachable lense and my partner and I was embarrassed when a female usher tapped me on the shoulder and said to put it away. I purposely brought my non cell phone camera without a removable lense to get some great pictures from my unclose higher end seats, VERY disappointed.

    Steve Martin

    by Debbie on 5/13/22Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts - Greensboro

    I was disappointed. I guess I didn't know what the Bryan Series really was. I was expecting more comedy and tales of the films he made. It was just like Inside the Actors Studio, and the host was not that good in my opinion.

    If you get the chance, see Steve Martin

    by c. w. on 9/22/21

    Wow, what a night! He did "Ramblin' Man", A Wild and Crazy Guy", "Cat Handcuffs", "Let's Get Small", Excuse Me", and many more. Well worth the $12.50 admission. If you get the chance, see Steve Martin live! Opening act was John Sebastian. NOTE: I saw this concert in 1978. Sorry this is so late.

    Music was unforgettable

    by Gumb on 12/26/16Town Hall - New York

    The show moved on with no hesitation. There was something going on every minute whether it was a musical number or dialogue.
