Steve Martin’s quick wit and brilliant insights create a laughter filled evening in Paris. As the two geniuses wrestle over questions of sex, fame, science and art a pop icon from the future makes a surprise visit and the space/time continuum erupts in a wild night that changes the 20th Century forever.
