John Oliver adds fourth show to Foxwoods gig

Award winning writer, comedian, and host of the HBO show, John Oliver has added a fourth show to his stop at The Foxwoods Resort Casino on Dec. 29 & 30. On his occasional breaks from television, John returns to his first love of stand-up, performing to sold-out venues around the world. From 2006 to 2013, he was a correspondent on the multi-award winning The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, guest-hosting the show for two months during Stewart’s absence in 2013.

He first came to prominence as a cutting edge political stand-up in the U.K., with a string of television appearances and soldout solo shows at the Edinburgh Festival. Having made the move to America in 2006 to work on The Daily Show, Oliver won the Breakout Award at the Aspen Comedy Festival in 2007. Oliver played Dr. Ian Duncan on the NBC sitcom Community and was the voice of Vanity Smurf in The Smurfs movie and The Smurfs 2.
