John Oliver: Terrifying Times

The British funnyman who keeps television viewers laughing with a recurring role on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart now brings his pointed brand of political humor to the stage in this stand-up comedy special captured live at the Symphony Space Theater in New York City. From explaining the polite way of overthrowing a country and taking slaves to detailing his failure at becoming a professional athlete and explaining why every American owes him a proper cup of tea, John Oliver proves that just because you're a Redcoat doesn't mean you can't have a sense of humor.
