Bill Maher on Tour
As fearless as any stand-up to take the stage, Bill Maher has never been shy about letting audiences know what he's thinking. With the razor-sharp wit he's brandished since his start in New York's comedy scene in the late ‘70s, Maher's candor has made him not just a comedy icon but one who's keenly attuned to the ever-changing worlds of politics and popular culture.
In his regular live appearances, Maher flaunts the same caustic but clear-eyed humor that's made HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher a television institution since 2003. Skewering idiocies, banalities and hypocrisies from across the political spectrum, Maher doesn't flinch from controversial topics of the day, and he finds laughs in subjects that other comedians don't dare to touch.
Bill Maher Background
No subject in politics or culture is safe from Bill Maher's reliably ruthless wit. Politically incorrect and proud of it, he is a comedian and commentator who plays by no one else's rules. This quality has made him a favorite of audiences and TV viewers for over four decades.
After cutting his teeth at his hometown's legendary comedy club Catch a Rising Star in the late ‘70s, the native New Yorker gained a wider profile through appearances on The Tonight Show and Late Night with David Letterman. He got his chance to show off his own skills as a talk show host when Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher debuted on Comedy Central in 1993. The Emmy-winning late-night political show continued to garner laughs and controversy on ABC from 1997 to 2002.
Since 2003, Maher and his guests have enjoyed free rein on Real Time with Bill Maher, the fearless and freewheeling talk show that begins its 18th season on HBO in 2020. But as busy as he may be on his own show and as a guest commentator on CNN, MSNBC and elsewhere, Maher is always ready to demonstrate his enduring prowess as a live stand-up in venues throughout the U.S. and Canada.
I have been a Bill Maher fan for decades because he tells it like it is and I laugh while listening to important and difficult topics. I watch Real Time every week and am better informed because of his show.
Bill Maher says out loud what we are thinking. Can't put him in a box. Well worth it.
Funny as heck He works the crowd and makes us think. I was laughing almost the whole time ..
Terrific job, best comic ever. It was non stop laughter for the entire show. Even laughed on subjects I was not in agreement with.
Bill was Bill - we enjoyed every aspect of his show! However, I think the venue and Ticketmaster did us a disservice as they did not warn us of the massive amount of street closures in downtown. There were so many our GPS actually sent us down a dead end street (along with about 10 other cars). Years ago, a former CEO of the Arizona Coyotes said that your experience starts when you leave home and ends when you get back home. Please start thinking like that - it was frustrating and we missed approx 15-20 minutes of Bill’s show. Parking is getting expensive in downtown!
It was a great stand up comedy experience. Worth the price of admission! I would love to catch his act every time he comes to town.
Seats were very comfortable. My only complaint is that tickets should not be able to be bought up by scalpers and then resold at a higher price. This is "Fair vale exchange". Neil Young requires this for his concerts. If you can't go to his concert you can sell them for face value on the website. This enables more people to attend concerts who can't afford the higher prices. This should be a standard practice for all concerts.
it was a great show this time. I’ve seen him 2 or 3 times now always enjoy, but this time the audience was really engaged and having a good time with him ! I always try to catch him when he comes to bay area. 😍
Great to see someone who gives equal time to the absurdities of both the right and the left. We all laughed together for ninety minutes and left smiling and hopeful.
Not sure if its Bill Maher's style or bad acoustics of the venue, but the audio was pretty bad. It was so bad that people in balcony had to shout "cannot hear you"and then Bill increased his voice by 10%. I was sitting in the balcony and had a hard time listening to his soft voice. I'd love the venue to increase the volume or install more speakers for the audience which isn't sitting in the first few rows.
