MASHANTUCKET, Conn. - Jan. 21, 2015 - PRLog -- Comix at Foxwoods presents Emmy Award-winner and HBO’s “Last Week Tonight” host, John Oliver one-night-only, stand-up performance at the Grand Theater on Saturday, Jan. 24 at 8:00 p.m.

Oliver is an “Emmy”and “Writer’s Guild” Award-winning writer. His HBO show, “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” presents a satirical look at the week in news, politics and current events. On his occasional breaks from television, Oliver returns to his first love of stand-up and plays to sold out venues across the US.

From 2006 to 2013, John was a correspondent and guest host on the multi-award winning “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” Oliver first came to prominence as a cutting-edge political stand up in the UK, with a string of television appearances and sold-out stand-up shows at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival.

Having made the move to America in 2006 to work on “The Daily Show,” Oliver won the “Breakout Award”at the Aspen Comedy Festival in 2007 and went on to write and star in his first hour-long Comedy Central stand-up special “John Oliver: Terrifying Times”in 2008. The special was such a huge success that Oliver has now hosted four seasons of his own stand-up series for Comedy Central entitled, “John Oliver’s New York Stand Up Show,” which feature a hand-picked selection of his favorite comedians.

With long-time collaborator Andy Zaltzman, Oliver co-writes and co-presents the hugely popular weekly satirical podcast “The Bugle.” Its success has grown significantly since the podcast’s inception in 2007 and now pulls in over 500,000 downloads a week. Oliver and Zaltzman previously wrote and starred in three series of “The Department”(BBC Radio 4) alongside Chris Addison, as well as two series of BBC Radio 4 show “Political Animal,” based on their satirical live stand-up show.

Oliver also continues to successfully tour the U.S. performing stand-up. He has a regular guest role on NBC’s sitcom “Community,” is the voice of Vanity Smurf in “The Smurfs”movie and its sequel “The Smurfs 2,”and has recently appeared in “The Simpsons”as Marge and Homer’s next-door neighbor, Booth Wilkes-John
