Nick Offerman: American Ham (2014)

Do Your Research Before Buying Pricey Ticket

If you enjoy listening to a successful movie star complain about how divided the world is & how hateful the other other side of that divide is, but then does nothing throughout the show to bridge that divide, then this is the show for you. It would've been the campy fun prairie home companion type experience if he didn't decide to get into partisan political themes for the whole two hours, and in fact he started out very strong, taking jabs at every side of a thing and everyone in the audience was howling. But, then it became a soap box that unless you were 100% onboard with his identical world view, you would be checking your watch wondering when it ends. A vignette to close out this review: a couple quietly left mid show and he kept riffing on how they were hateful and part of the problem with this world 4-5 times before the show ended.
