Just
in time for Election Day, “Real Time” host and political commentator Bill Maher
brings his trademark humor back to The Orleans Showroom, November 3 and 4.
Best-known
for his sharp political satire and sociopolitical commentary, HBO late-night
talk-show host and comedian Maher began his stand-up career in 1979, and was
host of New York City comedy club Catch a Rising Star. In 1982, Maher began
appearing on the Johnny Carson and Dave Letterman shows, and made other
television appearances, including a guest appearance on the popular drama
“Murder She Wrote.” After his feature
film debut in 1983’s “D.C. Cab,” Maher appeared in several films, including
“Rat Boy,” “Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death” and “Pizza Man.”
For
the last 18 years, Maher has pushed the boundaries of how far political humor
and satire can go on American television. First on “Politically Incorrect”
(which first aired on Comedy Central before moving to ABC), and for the last
seven years on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” his combination of
unflinching honesty and scathing humor have garnered Maher 21 Emmy®
nominations. In October 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher’s
swipe at organized religion, “Religulous,” which went on to become the
seventh-highest grossing documentary ever.
In
addition to his television program—which has featured such regular visitors as
Ben Affleck, Robin Williams, Arianna Huffington, Alec Baldwin and Michael
Moore—Maher has written four bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a
Problem with That? Politically
Incorrect’s Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden” and
most recently, “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer.”
Two
of Maher’s nine stand-up specials for HBO – 2007’s “The Decider” and 2005’s
“I’m Swiss” – were nominated for Emmy Awards®.
Maher’s
most recent stand-up special for HBO, “Bill Maher But I’m Not Wrong,” aired in
2010 and in February 2012, his “CrazyStupidPolitics LIVE! from Silicon Valley”
debuted on yahoo.com.
