It’s That Short Guy

February 10, 2011

Matt Mitchell,

Johnson County Community College’s Performing Arts Series presents a cavalcade of classic comedy stars at 8 p.m. On the roster: Ed Grimley, Jiminy Glick, Franck Eggelhoffer the wedding planner, and more. All right, all of these “stars” are actually personas of one comedy legend. He’s bringing them all for An Evening With Martin Short, a one-man show at Yardley Hall (12345 College Boulevard in Overland Park), where his chameleonic characters take on lives of their own. The dude’s resume is top-drawer. Highlights: SCTV, SNL,
Arrested Development, Primetime Glick and Three Amigos. In what could turn out to be a groan-inducing highlight, Short plans to interview an as-yet unnamed local celebrity, in character as Glick. Tickets cost $50 to $130. Call 913-469-4445 or see jccc.edu/performing-
