Latest News About Steve Martin: Comedy Is Not Pretty

I don’t have live access to current outlets from here, but I can share what’s publicly known about Steve Martin and the phrase you mentioned.

Direct answer

• As of the latest widely reported material up to 2025, Steve Martin has been active in projects including a documentary collaboration and stage/film work, but there’s no reliable, verifiable record of a recent release or project specifically titled “Comedy Is Not Pretty.” The original Steve Martin NBC stand-up special “Steve Martin: Comedy Is Not Pretty” aired in 1980, and is separate from his later work and the 1980s-era touring and film projects. If you’re referring to a recent show, documentary, or re-release with that title, I’d need a precise date or source to confirm.

What to check next (quick tips)
