CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC’S PICK: The host of HBO’s Last Week Tonight is taking to the road and will make a stop at the Fox in August. Oliver’s comedic roots are in stand-up, having made his debut at the 2001 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He hosted four seasons of his own stand-up series for Comedy Central and starred in the special John Oliver: Terrifying Times (2008). Until 2015, he co-hosted the popular weekly satirical podcast The Bugle, with Andy Zaltzman, and has appeared as an actor in the NBC sitcom Community and in several movies. Oliver also voiced the Zazu character in Disney’s The Lion King (2019). His show at the Fox is bound to include his usual caustic wit, well-researched observations, and biting commentary. Highly recommended. - Kevin C. Madigan
