Nick Offerman: Full Bush
Riverside Theater 116 W. Wisconsin Ave., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53203
For most viewers, Nick Offerman is impossible to separate from his “Parks and Recreation” character Ron Swanson, an over-the-top embodiment of masculinity in its most stubborn, meat-devouring, wood-splitting form. Indeed, Offerman has quite a bit in common with his signature creation—like Swanson, he’s a genuinely talented furniture maker—but in recent years he’s broken from his man’s man persona to branch out with more dramatic roles in films like The Founder and the second series of FX’s “Fargo,” for which he received a Critics’ Choice Television Award nomination. Offerman has swung through Milwaukee a few times over the years, each time behind a different batch of material (like his one-man show American Ham, or as part of a joint tour with his actress wife Megan Mullally). For this appearance, he’ll perform a set of stand-up comedy called Full Bush.
