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!

Thinking person's comedian

I saw Oliver last night and I'm finding myself revisiting his material. He has a unique story-telling style which helps his hilarious material stay with me and re-amuse me. Plus, with some of his material, you can actually learn something - mainly his history stories. So funny. ... 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

John Oliver is the best

4.5 is my review, not because of John Oliver, who always delivers, but because the venue was big and he could have moved around the stage more so all could share him up close and personal. The microphone was often too close to his mouth. I wish I could have also had a TV screen as he was small on that stage. The opening act by Brooks Whealan very good, but he was delivering to a 30 age audience at a bar in NYC and the audience was older and could thus afford the tickets. Brooks was raunchy with too much use of F word. He was talented and he didn't have to go there with beer and wine jokes like inexperienced comedians rely on to carry the show. He didn't need that. ... Read more
