Political satire wizard John Oliver does many things—really, really well. He's an actor, producer, Emmy-winning writer, standup comedian, and insanely popular television host. When Oliver took over The Daily Show for Jon Stewart for a two-month run (Stewart was directing Rosewater), everyone loved him so much, HBO gave him his very own show. Last Week Tonight is a premium cable hit—and because HBO doesn't bother with commercials, Oliver can say whatever he wants without worrying about pissing off paid advertisers. Tonight, he performs live but without the camera crew at the City National Grove of Anaheim—get tickets now as this topnotch standup show is very close to selling out.
