Event Information

ENJOY LIVE COMEDY IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS!

A night of deliberative talking, mirth, and music. An evening that compels listeners to chuckle while also causing them to honestly countenance the aspects of humanity about which we have to laugh so that we don’t attack one another with shovels. If the evening is light on dance, the audience has only themselves to blame.

Nick Offerman is an actor, author, humorist and woodworker, best known as the character of Ron Swanson on NBC’s Parks & Recreation, Forest in Devs, the FX limited series from writer-director Alex Garland, Karl Weathers in the FX series Fargo, and Uncle Milty in Pam and Tommy on FX/Hulu. He narrates for the audiobook of Wendell Berry’s latest, The Need to Be Whole, and voices Beef Tobin in the FOX animated series The Great North. Recent and upcoming projects include The Last of Us (HBO), The Resort (Peacock), A League of Their Own (Amazon), and NBC’s Making It (co-host and executive producer). He has written five New York Times Bestselling books, including his latest, Where the Deer and the Antelope Play: The Pastoral Observations of One Ignorant American Who Loves to Walk Outside (Penguin Random House), Paddle Your Own Canoe, Gumption, Good Clean Fun, and The Greatest Love Story Ever Told, written with his wife, Megan Mullally. In his spare time, he can be found at his woodshop in Los Angeles building hand-crafted items from wood, ranging from spoons and canoes to ukuleles.

Joining Nick Offerman are comedians Sam Morril and Dan Soder. Morril is one of the fastest-rising stand-up comics in NY currently on his tour Class Act selling out theatres across North America and he’s one of the best joke writers in the scene today. Dan Soder is a NY based comedian and actor who’s best known as ‘Mafee’ on the hit series Billions on Showtime. Dan’s stand up specials have been featured on HBO, Netflix and Comedy Central.
