About

Nick Offerman on Tour

As fans of his Parks and Recreation role as plaid-shirted public servant Ron Swanson are aware, Nick Offerman is easily America's most entertaining woodworker. Even more of this comedic carpenter's skills, which include storytelling and songwriting, will be on display when Offerman hits the road for 2019's All Rise – American Humorist tour. 

The trip follows his saucy 2017 Full Bush tour and sex-centric two-person 2016 traveling show, Summer of 69: No Apostrophe, with wife Megan Mullally. Offerman describes All Rise as "an evening of deliberative talking and light dance that will compel you to chuckle whilst enjoining you to brandish a better side of humanity than the one to which we have grown accustomed. Come on down and hear the good news that will make you go jingle-jangle in your juice box."

Nick Offerman Background

Nick Offerman's professional acting career began around 1991 in his home state of Illinois. Following film appearances in Sin City, Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous, and The Men Who Stare at Goats, Offerman's career took off when he joined the cast of Amy Poehler's NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation in 2009. 

Before the show concluded in 2015, his portrayal of a straight-faced, meme-generating libertarian carpenter had earned Offerman the Television Critics Association Award for Individual Achievement in Comedy. Subsequent roles have included his portrayal of McDonald's co-developer Dick McDonald in The Founder and the rocking dad in feel-good father-daughter drama Hearts Beat Loud. 

On the printed page, Offerman has mixed wit and wisdom in The Greatest Love Story Ever Told (with Megan Mullally), Paddle Your Own Canoe: One Man's Fundamentals for Delicious Living, Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom With America's Gutsiest Troublemakers, and Good Clean Fun: Misadventures in Sawdust at Offerman Workshop. 

But that's not all. The persuasive polymath sings songs devoted to online entities Facebook and Siri on a homemade ukulele, while the instructional DVD Fine Woodstrip Canoe Building with Nick Offerman attests to his boat-making expertise.

    great show

    by Debbie on 10/4/23Taft Theatre - Cincinnati

    Not a typical "comedian", but whether you know him from TV or not, very funny and entertaining.

    Excellent show

    by Delaney on 6/3/23The Theater at MGM National Harbor - National Harbor

    Loved the performance! Nick Offerman made me laugh in ways I didn't know I needed to laugh. Healing! The venue space was also easy to navigate despite the number of people.

    Not Entertaining

    by SG on 6/1/23Harrah's Cherokee Resort Event Center - Cherokee

    We paid to be entertained not to listen about political views. We expected the musical bits but not every 5 minutes! We laughed a few times but it was a very disjointed show. Honestly not as comical as we were expecting. We know he is a dry sense of humor entertainer but this was just a let down. Wish we would have saved our money. Won’t go to another show by him. What a bummer!

    Fresh new comedy experience

    by MO on 5/30/23The Theater at MGM National Harbor - National Harbor

    MGM Theater at National Harbor was a great venue for enjoying Nick Offerman's comedy show. His material is fresh, laugh out loud hysterical and what bonus when he makes himself giggle!

    Disappointing

    by WNC Nano on 5/30/23Harrah's Cherokee Resort Event Center - Cherokee

    I'm not sure what I expected, but it was disappointing. He seemed to have an agenda, and he definitely wanted people to know he was *not* Ron Swanson. The first half was funny, then it went downhill. I also didn't like his singing.

    Preachy and not funny

    by K on 5/30/23Harrah's Cherokee Resort Event Center - Cherokee

    If you’re looking not to laugh and get a dry sermon for a couple hours this is the show for you! I along with a lot of others left about an hour in. Very disappointed.

    Hilarious!

    by Jor on 5/30/23Harrah's Cherokee Resort Event Center - Cherokee

    Nick Offerman was his hilarious self. It was a perfect blend of funny songs & humorous musings. My favorite part (and also one Offerman points out) is witnessing those who came expecting Ron Swanson, but got Nick Offerman.

    Waste of money

    by Robert on 5/30/23Harrah's Cherokee Resort Event Center - Cherokee

    Definitely not what we expected to see. It was a mashup of poorly wrote songs and lackluster “comedy,” if you can call it that. Very disappointed in the show.

    Alright

    by sarah on 5/30/23The Theater at MGM National Harbor - National Harbor

    The theater is great, it's in the same building as the casino and many restaurants to choose from. The show was great at the beginning and end. The middle part was alright.

    CLASSIC Nick Offerman!

    by DCGuy on 5/30/23The Theater at MGM National Harbor - National Harbor

    Nick Offerman is every bit as loveable in person as he is on TV. He brings his whole self to his show through an act that's a little bit stand-up, a touch of cabaret, and good ol' fashion story-telling. This is the second time I've seen him in person (the first time was in 2016 with his wife Megan Mullally), and I'm ready for the third. If you're considering going, the answer is yes! : )

    Disappointed

    by John on 5/29/23The Theater at MGM National Harbor - National Harbor

    As someone who rates Offerman’s books as 10/10, I was very disappointed by his live show. About 30% of the show was hilarious, but then the lazy comedy delve into politics, less-than-current-events, and what he admitted to being “experimental” was amateurish. I’m all for a comedian trying new material and pushing the envelope, but do so in a club with a $12 cover charge not a major theatre when the audience is sitting there at $80-$200 per seat.

    Fun

    by Jon on 5/10/23Casino Rama Resort - Rama

    okay

    by t. h. on 4/28/23

    I am the biggest ron swanson fan. Saw him in Indiana and it was surprisingly not very comedic. I didn’t laugh much and the singing was odd. Also, it was sad to see him hate on his ron character so much when a lot of people were wearing ron swanson shirts, etc. Sad.

    Hilarious and heartfelt show!

    by Jared on 4/1/23Premier Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino - Mashantucket

    Nick was just as funny and relatable as he seems in film and TV. He hit on a lot of current topics and events with his signature brand of humor, while also singing, connecting with the audience, and sharing his offbeat insights about the world. A great show and a wholesome guy!

    super political

    by Kaytee on 3/31/23Premier Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino - Mashantucket

    Didn't realize the show was going to be so political and full of rants about political figures. he also sang a lot, which would have been fine if it wasn't also very political. meh. kinda a waste of money.

    Unexpected Departure from Expectations

    by Saint5588 on 3/29/23Premier Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino - Mashantucket

    As a fan of Nick Offerman I was very excited to be able to see him live and enjoy a night out. Unfortunately, during the 90-minute performance only half of the material was comedic while the other reverted towards partisan politics and hypocrisy. It is one thing to respect one's opinion and view of the world today, but it is a complete 360 when you claim this to your audience and proceed to take half a set to provide political commentary that seemed to be venting rather than comedy. Overall, some seemed to enjoy it but we walked out of the experience disappointed.

    Ehhh, was expecting more

    by Rielgoode on 3/29/23Premier Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino - Mashantucket

    Felt like the stage was used as a sounding post for Nick to relay that he is not at all like his Ron Swanson character. Too many politics, not enough laughs. I saw people actually walking out of the show. Maybe my hopes were too high??

    Ok

    by Nanette1 on 3/29/23Premier Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino - Mashantucket

    I expected more from him. It seems most comedians today can only talk politics. I paid to NOT HEAR about that.

    Incredible Night

    by Begin on 3/29/23Premier Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino - Mashantucket

    This was an amazing experience. Nick tackles all topics and gives it to you straight. He does not shy away from topics others would not address. It was a powerful night. He used music to heighten his message. Also, it was a surreal moment when he sang "Bye Bye Lil Sebastian" This show exceeded all expectations

    Funny but wasn’t my type of humor

    by Noy on 3/28/23Premier Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino - Mashantucket

    The humor was very dry in my opinion. I don’t mind political jokes either but there was a lot of it going on followed by songs he would sing and play with his guitar. It’s a good show but it really wasn’t for me.
