North Charleston PAC to host An Evening of Stand-up with Bill Maher
Comedian Bill Maher is brining his live stand-up tour to the North Charleston Performing Arts Center on February 16, 2020. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 am.
For more than twenty years, Maher has hosted funny, political talk show on several networks – first on Politically Incorrect (Comedy Central, ABC, 1993-2002), and for the last thirteen years on HBO’s Real Time. His work on those shows have garnered him 34 Emmy nominations. Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for HBO series, VICE.
In October of 2008, Maher’s uproarious swipe at organized religion, Religulous, was released and went on to become the 8th highest grossing documentary ever.
In addition to his television program – which has featured such regular visitors as Howard Dean, Ben Affleck, Robin Williams, Arianna Huffington, Cory Booker, and Michael Moore – Maher has written five bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrect’s Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden,” “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer,” and most recently, “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass.”
Maher started his career as a stand-up comedian in 1979, and still performs at least fifty dates a year in Las Vegas and in sold out theaters all across the country. Three of his ten stand-up specials for HBO – 2007’s “The Decider,” 2005’s “I’m Swiss,” as well as the hilarious, “Bill Maher … But I’m Not Wrong,” – have been nominated for Emmy awards.
