We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Refunds will be available to ticket buyers." In February, Martin revealed that Short had contracted COVID after attending the SNL50: The Anniversary Special. He said Maya Rudolph had also. "Maya had Covid. Marty has Covid. I wonder why? The SNL 50th Covid curse is real," Martin wrote on Instagram at the time. The result led to them also canceling their shows in Knoxville and Durham and rescheduling them to Oct. 17 and 18. The Pink Panther star's next upcoming date for his comedy tour is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 4, in Hollywood, Florida. The tour is set to run through next year where it wraps up on April 26, 2026 in Cleveland, Ohio.
