Calling all fans of Parks and Recreation, bacon and beards: Comedian, actor, writer and woodworker Nick Offerman is headlining the Taft Theatre on Friday, April 19.
If Offerman’s Netflix special American Ham is any indication, expect storytelling, stand-up and song. Offerman, possibly best known as Ron Swanson from NBC’s Amy Poehler vehicle Parks and Rec, won several awards for his portrayal as the meme-worthy man’s man and deadpan city hall employee.
Most recently, he was seen (and heard) in films including Sing, Ice Age: Collision Course, The Founder, The Little Hours, The Hero and Infinity Baby, in which he starred alongside his wife Megan Mullally, a comedian in her own right who plays Karen on Will & Grace.
In his spare time, Offerman can be found at his woodshop in Los Angeles.
8 p.m. Friday, April 19. $40-$60. Taft Theatre, 317 E. Fifth St., Downtown, tafttheatre.org.
