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!

Many others we’re laughing so I guess they found him funny. ... Read more

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

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
