www.tmz.comI 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)
- Confirm the exact source: Look for a recent news article or official Steve Martin/Apple TV+ press release mentioning “Comedy Is Not Pretty” in quotes to confirm whether it’s a new release, a retrospective, or a re-release of the 1980 special.
- Cross-reference with reputable outlets: Major outlets (e.g., CBS News, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter) often publish verified details about new specials, documentaries, or tours.
