Bill Maher Comes to Morrison Center in August; Tickets On Sale 4/13

Social critic, political commentator, author and TV host Bill Maher makes his way to Boise, Idaho for a live appearance at Morrison Center at Boise State University on Saturday, August 18, at 8:00 p.m. 

First on Politically Incorrect (Comedy Central, ABC, 1993-2002) and for the last eight years on HBO's Real Time, Maher's combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him twenty-six Emmy nominations. In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher's uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, Religulous, directed by Larry Charles (Borat). The documentary has gone on to become the 7th Highest Grossing Documentary ever.   

In addition to his television program - which has featured such regular visitors as John Edwards, Ben Affleck, Robin Williams, Arianna Huffington, Alec Baldwin and Michael Moore - Maher has written four bestsellers: True Story, Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrect's Greatest Hits, When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden, and most recently, New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer. 

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 nine stand-up specials for HBO - 2007's The Decider, 2005's I'm Swiss, as well as his most recent, the hilarious, Bill Maher ... But I'm Not Wrong, - have been nominated for Emmy awards.  

Maher was born in New York City, raised in River Vale, N.J. and went to Cornell University. He now resides in Los Angeles.

Tickets to his Boise show are priced at $75, $60 and $45 + ticketing fees. Tickets may be purchased at the Morrison Center Box Office, Select-A-Seat outlets located in select Treasure Valley Albertsons locations, online at www.idahotickets.com or by calling 208-426-1110.  The performance goes on sale Friday, April 13.
