It's not exactly a "Three Amigos" reunion, but we'll take it.

Steve Martin and Martin Short, two of comedy's most enduring, and likable, forces, will reunite for "An Evening You Will Forget For the Rest of Your Lives" on May 19, 2017 at the Orpheum Theatre. The evening will consist of stand-up, film clips, musical numbers and a conversation about their celebated lives in show business.

In addition to the near-guaranteed laughs, music will be provided by Steep Canyon Rangers and Jeff Babko.

Tickets go on sale 11 a.m. this Friday at the State Theatre box office in Minneapolis. You can also call 1-800-982-2787 or visit hennepintheatretrust.org. Prices range from $79 to $199.
