Convince me youre not trying to rule the world.
That was for a bit on The Daily Show, probably Olivers best-known gig but hes also a noted standup comedian with two specials under his belt (plus a slew of side projects), who brings the same sly, dry Brit-wit to the stage as he does to unsuspecting diplomats. A common theme of all his pieces? Americans are idiots.
Oliver brings his act to the Comedy Works in Larimer Square, 1226 15th Street, tonight at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m.; it repeats at the same times Monday and Tuesday at the Comedy Works in Landmark Village, 5345 Landmark Place in Greenwood Village. Tickets are $30; to buy them or to get more information, call 720-274-6800 or visit www.comedyworks.com.
