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.
Bill was wonderful, funny, witty and a blast to watch!!! However, the sound in the theatre was not working properly. This took away from the overall experience. We had great seats - we felt bad for the people in the back or balconies.
You'll have a blast. Some material was recycled, and some was new. Was expecting a little more material specific to our audience/region. But as a Bioll fan, you should definitely check him out whenever/wherever.
Bill Maher was super funny and entertaining! The show was awesome, and I would definitely love to see him again. The theatre had some issues, but overall it was a great experience.
Non-stop laughs. Very little of his routine was repeated from previous stand up shows. Maher puts a hilarious spin on the truth.
As a fan of Mr. Maher's I was not surprised that there was some overlap of his humor from is HBO show, although I was expecting to hear more material that was more "of the moment", as it has been three busy weeks since his last show. Overall, I thought he put on a good show and I would love to hear it again, especially if I could actually hear all of it. The sound system at the theater was not working properly and those of us up front on the left missed the first fifteen minutes of the show. Even after an adjustment was made, it sounded like Mr. Maher was talking inside of a giant garbage can and if he moved his microphone in any fashion the sound would drop out. I have been a fan for several years and it was a real disappointment to really only hear about half of the material.
This is one of the best events I've ever attended. Bill Maher handled the crowd with ease. In the beginning there was a sound problem and he nailed it. He pulled out all the stop on every topic that is 'politically incorrect'. The crowd was amazing and as cutting edge as he was. I think he was surprised that New Orleans had such an educated, hip, aware audience. What a great feeling to be withg so many like-minded people!!!!
