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.

    The religious jokes got a little offensive. To much preaching not enough jokes.

    Really well balanced show, he performed on his own for 90 minutes, sang some funny tunes (didn't know that was part of his routine). He's just a really funny, real guy, but with many similarities to his Ron Swanson persona. A bit raunchy at times, but mixed in well. Highly recommended!

    Nick Offerman made me cry tears of joy.

    by obrie4km on 2/17/13Warner Theatre - Washington

    NIck Offerman was GREAT! The show was a blast the whole time. I was a little worried that he would try to be mostly like Ron Swanson, but he was so much more honest. It was a fantastic show and I was crying tears from laughter throughout.

    Should've Stuck to Familiar Material

    by Anonymous on 2/17/13Warner Theatre - Washington

    In many ways, Nick Offerman is very similar to Ron Swanson, his famous character on Parks & Recreation. His material related to such things as food, craftwork, and his unique, eloquent delivery was hysterical (make sure you put your phones away). However, much of the event was spent insulting Christianity and making wildly crass jokes about God while saying that those who subscribe to various religions should be decent to each other. Well, apparently that applies to all BUT Christianity. Ultimately, it was disappointing. There was so much inoffensive material that he could've run with, but that all got pushed aside in the name of insulting everything in which a good number of people believe. I'll stick to watching Parks & Recreation for my future Nick Offerman entertainment.

    It was absolutely fantastic! Nick Offerman not only gave a hysterical performance but provided some great advice too.

    Nick Offerman, absolutely hilarious.

    by VolSnag on 2/17/13Warner Theatre - Washington

    Nick Offerman, although he did not come from a stand-up comedy background, puts on a hilarious and extremely entertaining show. He goes through his 10 tips for prosperity, telling stories and singing songs. I would pay to see this show again many more times. If he puts out a record or special from this, I will be first in line to buy it. Absolutely phenomenal.

    Not as funny as I would have hoped and weirdly preachy. I didn't even disagree with him, but preachiness in any form usually turns me off.

    The Man. The Myth. The Legend.

    by Triff777 on 2/17/13Warner Theatre - Washington

    Nick Offerman is hilarious. Was a bit more political than expected, so if you are very religious/conservative, you may be offended!

    A little too much raunch for my liking....

    by TreatYoSelf on 10/19/12Royce Hall - UCLA - Los Angeles

    I absolutely love Park and Rec, especially Nick's character on the show, so I obviously jumped at the chance to see him live. It started out hilarious, delving into 10 tips to guide you through life. As the set progressed, however, Nick became extremely dirty and irreverant. I'm all for a dirty joke here and there, but he took it above and beyond, and not it a good way. It became tactles, raunchy and disrespectful, pretty much spitting on the Bible, religion and republicans (none of which I have a strong affiliation with). That didn't bother me as much as the raunchiness did though. It was just unnecessary. I feel like comedians feel obligated nowadays to tell dirty jokes and I just fee like there are so many other ways to get a good laugh out of the audience. I think it shows a lack of depth and creativity. I'm not sure if he was trying to cater to the college audience, but he definitely underestimated our level of maturity and what we would actually find humorous. Ultimately, the show left me with a bad taste in my mouth, and a strong sense of disappointment.

    The show was hilarious! Jokes about religion get a little intense, not an issue for me but could offend deeply religious people. Otherwise I thought the dialogue was smart, funny and very very good.

    Tasteless and offensive. I expected more from a comedian with such a great character on television. It seems like someone used Christianity to do him wrong at one point in his life and now he has to put down anyone who has faith.

    Tasty as a BLT!

    by NFLZenmaster on 10/2/12Royce Hall - UCLA - Los Angeles

    Nick and his show were funny, amusing and a pleasure. Nancy and Beth as the opening were fun and had great voices, and I could listen to Nick Offerman read craigslist ads and it would be hilarious. Go see him!

    Great show!

    by Pandaface03 on 10/2/12Royce Hall - UCLA - Los Angeles

    I loved every minute of it. I laughed so hard that I had a headache. I loved his 10 tips. I loved that Megan was a part of the show. And the Lil Sebastian tribute at the end was the icing on the cake!

    Nick Offerman Keeping it Classy

    by Charita199 on 10/2/12Royce Hall - UCLA - Los Angeles

    You could definitely tell he was new to stand-up, but it was refreshing to see him out of his character on Parks and Rec. There were also some tidbits or "tips" more from the mouth of Ron Swanson that helped tie the show together. I also enjoyed the musical interludes, his wife's band was fabulous and set a mellow and bluegrass/country vibe. A great show!

    Crying laughing before he even started talking!

    by Caitlin1 on 10/2/12Royce Hall - UCLA - Los Angeles

    Megan Mulally (his wife) and her band opened, and then they did a few songs together. Nick's story-telling was hilarious; he is actually Ron Swanson in real life.

    Nick Offerman didn't disappoint!

    by DeeMahhhney on 10/2/12Royce Hall - UCLA - Los Angeles

    I really was a little apprehensive going to his show because I know he's funny on parks and rec, but that doesn't mean he can be funny live. I even showed up two hours late to my friend's birthday party for Offerman's show and I'm so happy I didn't pass on the show. He was really funny and there was brief nudity and a surprise guest. I really liked that it was more like a lesson/story and easy to follow. We also got to learn of his and his wife's musical abilities. They were really cute and he, of course, did not hold back on his crude humor just because his wife and family was present. I would recommend it and I would go see it again if I could. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 out of 5 is just because I wish they had other comedians doing the opening act instead of all the singing.

    Nick Offerman was hilarious

    by xweb on 10/2/12Royce Hall - UCLA - Los Angeles

    I laughed, I cried, it was better than cats. Seriously, though, Nick Offerman was hilarious and displayed an excellent sense of comedic timing. It was a lot of fun!

    ' Im Ron f****** Swanson"

    by lak3rfan on 5/20/12Largo Theater - Hollywood

    Nick Offerman is a genius. I couldn't stop laughing. Not only is he a actor but the man can play guitar and make you laugh with his songs. I recommend anybody seeing him perform even if you haven heard of him( which you probably been living under a rock) You will for sure become a fan. Also parks and recreation is amazing just saying.
