The concept is heartening, if not the execution. My wife went to see this show last year and said it was much funnier in person (also adding that it's been truncated for Netflix consumption). Martin and Short are two reliable names in comedy, and getting to see these two on stage is appealing, let me tell you. Not all of the jokes were gold, and only a couple of them really close the deal.
But as much as Steve Martin owns the stage with his banjo (and a top-shelf backing from the Steep Canyon Rangers), Martin Short's mildly deranged sense of humor provides the memorable gags.
In the end, an enjoyable evening.
