Paul Reiser May 17th May 17, 2013

Stand-up comedian, actor, and writer Paul Reiser re-emerges on the comedy scene with his quick wit and comedic talent. Comedy patrons across the country are in for a real treat when Reiser hits the stage and unleashes his hilarious insights about the absurdities of modern life.
As a seasoned entertainer, Paul Reiser continues to add to his ever expanding list of accomplishments: In addition to co-creating and starring in the critically acclaimed NBC series, “Mad About You,” which garnered him Emmy, Golden Globe, American Comedy Award and Screen Actors Guild nominations, his successes also include his most recent book, Familyhood, the long awaited follow- up to Babyhood and Couplehood, his first book, which sold over two million copies and reached the number one spot on The New York Times bestseller list.

Most recently, Reiser was cast alongside Michael Douglas and Matt Damon for the HBO made for TV movie "Behind the Candelabra" based on the life of Liberace. Some of Reiser’s other film roles have included “Aliens,” “Beverly Hills Cop (I and II),” “Diner,” “Bye, Bye Love,” “The Marrying Man,” and "The Thing About My Folks" – which he wrote and starred in with the Academy Award winning actors Peter Falk and Olympia Dukakis.

Perhaps lesser known are Reiser’s musical talents. Paul wrote the “Mad About You” Theme song (with Grammy-winning producer Don Was) “The Final Frontier” –which has the distinction of having been broadcast on Mars. (It was chosen by NASA mission directors as the “wake up call” for the Sojourner Rover there.) Paul’s most recent music project was releasing Unusual Suspects – an album of original songs he wrote with celebrated British singer/songwriter Julia Fordham, on which Reiser also arranged and played piano.

From his first appearance on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, through his success on television and film, Paul has spent most of his life making people laugh. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see Paul at his grassroots, performing live, up close and personal.
