Nick Offerman Sells Out First TBS Comedy Festival Show; Second Show Added

A second performance of Nick Offerman: American Ham at the Vic Theatre has been added to the TBS Just For Laughs Chicago lineup, Saturday, June 16, at 10 p.m. His previously announced 7:30 p.m. show is sold out. Tickets ($35) for the late show are available at the Vic Theatre box office, online at etix.com, or by phone at 800-514-etix (3849).

Nick Offerman (Parks & Recreation’s Ron Swanson) is taking full advantage of his honey-glazed hindquarters in a humorous entree called American Ham, which features a veritable smorgasbord of cautionary tales, tunes and tips for prosperity (with minor nudity). Offerman is best known for his role as Ron Swanson on NBC’s Emmy-nominated Parks & Recreation, working alongside the ensemble cast of Amy Poehler, Aziz Ansari and Rob Lowe. He can be seen on Will Ferrell’s telenova-inspired film Casa De Mi Padre and 21 Jump Street with Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. Offerman got his start in the Chicago theater community, where he was a founding member of the Defiant Theatre. Offerman currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Megan Mullally. While he’s not acting, he’s working in his woodworking shop building canoes, tables and other items by hand.
