Comedian Bill Maher Live Residency At Pearl Concert Theater March 23
Comedian, television host, political commentator and best-selling author Bill Maher will make the Pearl Concert Theater his 2013 home with performances on the following dates: March 23-24, June 8-9, September 6-7 and November 2-3, 2013. Show times are 8 p.m. Tickets start at $45, plus additional service fees and will go on sale Friday, January 11 at noon.
For the last 20 years, Bill Maher has set the boundaries of where funny, political talk can go on American television. First on “Politically Incorrect” and for the last 10 years on HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 29 Emmy nominations. In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher’s uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous,” directed by Larry Charles.
The documentary has gone on to become the 8th highest grossing documentary of all time.
Maher began his career as a stand-up comedian in 1979 and still performs at least 50 dates a year in sold out theaters across the country. Three of his nine stand-up specials for HBO, 2007’s “The Decider,” 2005’s “I’m Swiss” and the most recent special “Bill Maher…But I’m Not Wrong,” have been nominated for Emmy awards.
