Martin Short
Comedy Shows delayed after daughter’s death
Martin Short‘s comedy show with Steve Martin — “The Best of Steve Martin and Martin Short” — has been postponed following the sudden death of his daughter, Katherine.
We spoke to staff members for the theaters who told us it’s unclear whether the shows will take place … but it seems after the day went on, a decision was made behind the scenes to pull the scheduled performances from happening.
Both sites acknowledge that tickets will be honored for a future rescheduled date when determined.
We broke the story, Short’s 42-year-old daughter Katherine died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Law enforcement sources told us LAPD and the fire department responded to her Hollywood Hills home Monday, shortly after 6:40 PM PT, where she was found deceased.
Katherine — the daughter of Short and Nancy Dolman, Martin’s wife of 30 years, who passed away in 2010 of ovarian cancer — worked as a social worker in Los Angeles after receiving her bachelor’s degree from NYU and her master’s in social work from USC several years later.
