Event Details
With very special guests JEFF BABKO AND THE STEEP CANYON RANGERS
Honoring The Tilles Family and Tilles Center’s Founders and Board of Advisors, on the occasion of Tilles Center’s induction into the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame. Proceeds from this special gala fundraising event support Tilles Center’s enduring nonprofit mission.
Steve Martin and Martin Short’s “The Dukes of Funnytown!” is a show that redefines the form in unexpected and profound ways, from two of the funniest, most influential and acclaimed talents of the past century. Their humor is often subversive, but it is always a joyous self-deprecating romp from two comedy masters driven to make each other laugh as much as the audience. The jokes come at you at a rapid-fire pace with little set-up and big punch lines as they mock Hollywood and the fickle nature of celebrity, but the comedy truly soars when they lovingly (and relentlessly) roast each other. Martin and Short’s chemistry and timing on stage reflects a friendship forged over three decades which developed when they met for the first time on the set of the 1986 film “Three Amigos.” These two titans of comedy have been touring together since 2015, when they launched their first live show entitled “A Very Stupid Conversation.”

All About Jazz: Review of Tilles Jazz Fest
Tilles Center, nestled within Long Island University's Post campus in Brookville, New York, has long been committed to promoting, supporting and programming jazz. But this well-regarded venue took things to an entirely different level with its inaugural jazz festival on July 20, 2024. Working in collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center, Tilles put together an event to remember, hosting more than 70 musicians spread out across four stages.
