John Oliver

Why see John Oliver?

John Oliver Live

Since coming to America's attention with his stints on The Daily Show, this fast-talking brit has managed to create a home for himself and his hilarious political satire on this side of the pond. Now the esteemed host of HBO's Last Week Tonight, Oliver is sharp, uncompromising and always totally catchable as he digests the difficult topics (from the death penalty to the Fifa World Cup) with doses of his unique comedy styling.

Taking a cue from his position as one of the loudest voices in American comedy right now, his tour will include stand up, observations and current affairs. We don't know about you, but we can't wait to see this star of film, tv, and podcasts live!

Loved it - Dec 27 Kennedy Concert Hall. He makes Context an important notion in the set ups. The bit about 5y/o career dreams and actual failure was brilliant. Not a LWT spin off - original material. Must see. ... Read more

John Oliver really delivers in Baltimore

My daughter and I went to see John Oliver, the British-American humorist at the Hippodrone last night. Outstanding show delivered with a lot of heart and enthusiasm. Mr. Oliver seemed very happy to share his stand-up observations and political observations. We both laughed continuously throughout the show. Brooks Whealan the opening comedian was also outstanding. Fresh, cutting edge material. The Hippodrone is a lovely theater with great accoustics and clear stage views from most seats. ... Read more

Oliver great but “warm-up” act awful.

I’ve really missed Oliver since the writers strike so was very excited to see him. He was very funny and loved his comments on the history of British royalty and other bits. Perhaps I missed something but I really disliked the opening act. Total overuse of the “f” word and unfunny/dated jokes about drinking and drugs. Couldn’t wait til he was done. Many others we’re laughing so I guess they found him funny. ... Read more
