Best Comedy & Stand-up in Memphis

Steve Martin & Martin Short at Orpheum Theater

Steve Martin & Martin Short

Martin meets Martin in this extraordinary meeting of two of modern comedy's greatest entertainers. Steve Martin and Martin Short present 'You Won't Believe What They Look Like Today', a Q&A style conversation between the two comedians and the audience with a musical twist. Expect an evening of banjo-tinged interludes and singing punctuated by the side-splitting humor and charisma of these comedy greats.

Martin Lawrence at Landers Center

Martin Lawrence

Martin Lawrence, the original Bad Boy of comedy, is gearing up for the release of his long-awaited sequel 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' with Will Smith, set for general release in summer 2024. But the actor/comedian/singer isn't resting on his laurels until that happy day, as he's hitting the road this year for the 'Y'all Know What It Is! Tour,' his first tour in 8 years. Outspoken on subjects such as relationships, family, and vocal opposition to police brutality, Lawrence's raw style shows no sign of mellowing as we head into the new year. Be warned - this comic takes no prisoners at his shows!

Katt Williams at Fedex Forum

Katt Williams

Williams' sharply tuned mind is unafraid to tackle any topic, no matter how awkward it may seem. From first taking to the stage as a teenager with his thought-provoking (and hilarious) social commentary, William now boasts over 20 years in the 'biz. Known for covering topics like the war on drugs, truth and lies and even the chicken wing shortage, in his brand new tour 'Dark' Matter', who knows what Williams' will joke about!
