Martin Short has postponed his comedy tour dates following the death of his daughter

Martin Short has postponed his comedy tour dates following the death of his daughter.

The 75-year-old actor is heartbroken after his daughter Katherine Elizabeth Short died aged 42 on Monday (23.02.26), and the next few shows on The Best of Steve Martin and Martin Short tour will be rescheduled in the wake of the tragedy.

The duo were set to perform at the Miller High Life Theater on Friday (27.02.26) followed by two shows in Minneapolis the following day.

A notice on the venue website reads: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, Steve Martin and Martin Short’s show, originally scheduled for Friday, February 27th in Milwaukee, has been postponed.

"Tickets will be honored for a future rescheduled date. We will be in contact with further news when it is available.”

Currently, the next show still on the schedule seems to be a performance at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington DC on March 13.

In a statement shared with PEOPLE magazine on Tuesday, the Short family confirmed social worker Katherine - who was adopted by Martin and his late wife of 30 years, Nancy Dolman - died this week (23.02.26) at a home in the Hollywood Hills.

They said: "It is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short.

"The Short family is devastated by this loss, and asks for privacy at this time. Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world."
