John Oliver is an Emmy and Writer's Guild Award-winning writer, comedian, and host of the HBO show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. On his occasional breaks from television, John returns to his first love of stand-up, performing to sold-out venues around the world.
From 2006-2013, he was a correspondent on the multi-award winning The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, guest-hosting the show for two months during Stewart's absence in 2013.
After co-hosting the weekly satirical podcast The Bugle with Andy Zaltzman until 2015 and starring in his first stand-up special John Oliver: Terrifying Times, John went on to host four seasons of his own stand-up series for Comedy Central, John Oliver's New York Stand-Up Show, which featured a handpicked selection of his favorite comedians.
Oliver voices the character Zazu in the 2019 Disney film The Lion King and will voice a character in the 2019 Paramount film Amusement Park, following previous guest roles including Danger Mouse, Community, The Smurfs, The Smurfs 2, Bob's Burgers, The Simpsons, The Detour, and Rick & Morty.
First off, I don't know how he went for 1.5 hrs of solid comedy. More importantly, every minute of that 1.5 hrs I was laughing. He is the most impressive improver I have seen. It was amazing to see how well he handled comments from the crowd. He turned every outburst into the best joke of the night. I will see him every time he comes to town.
Yes, indeed, John Oliver is one of the best comedians in the world. He went on for an hour and a half, smoothly going from subject to subject without noticeable transitions or pauses and riffing off audience feedback smoothly. Absolutely wonderful.
Great show. Mr. Oliver held true to form. Very quick on his feet.
John Oliver gave a fantastic, fun-filled, 2 hour performance. I would go see him again in a minute and am recommending his show to all my friends.
His British accent says it all. I could stand being insulted as an American whilst listening to his accent. Very topical humor, and love that he could be witty on the fly (our audience was shouting things back to him, which made him crack up). Best night of comedy ever!!
Seeing John Oliver live was absolutely amazing. His stand-up is even better than his reports on The Daily Show. I would love to see him perform again some time.
John is a very funny man. I thoroughly enjoyed this show.
