Steve Martin and Martin Short will be coming to Ames for “An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life.”

The comedy-duo will be performing at Stephens Auditorium on Sunday, a show intermixed with stand-up musical numbers, clips from the actors’ filmography and conversations about their lives.

The comedians are joined by the bluegrass band Steep Canyon Rangers, featuring Steve Martin on the banjo.

Recently Martin and Short starred in a Netflix special, “An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life,” in which they dress up, sing, play banjo and throw jabs at the other.

The two met early in their acting careers on the set of the classic movie, “¡Three Amigos!”

“I was struck by how pale [Steve Martin] was in person,” recalled Short on “The Tonight Show.” “It was like I was being haunted suddenly.”

Martin and Short have been good friends ever since, performing on “Saturday Night Live” and acting in “Father of the Bride” together. Like most good friends, they love to rip into each other.

“We’re very close friends, very, very close, we’re closer than Putin and Trump,” Short joked. “We’re like Ellen Degeneres and a vest. You know what I mean? We’re close.”

These best friends will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday in Stephens Auditorium. Tickets are available at Stephens Auditorium’s box office, online at Ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000.
