Best known in Australia for his stand-out supporting roles in cinema comedies like Father of the Bride, Martin Short is also lauded for his work as an improv stand-up and a fine comic stage actor.

In what is certain to be a melange of these sundry skills, An Evening With Martin Short give us the opportunity to see his gifts first-hand.

This party with Marty will offer old-fashioned variety and will, we can suppose and hope, showcase Short's big skills as a mimic. The man has convincingly poked fun at everyone from Celine Dion to wedding planners and these skilful interludes are likely to be in supply.

Short, who last year lost his wife of more than thirty years, is back.
