Live On-Stage with Bob Newhart
Friday, June 27 ― 8:00 p.m.
Described by the New York Times as “the blandest passenger on the average commuter train … entirely harmless until he opens his mouth,” Bob Newhart’s nonchalant, understated-yet-outrageously-funny comedic style will keep your sense of humor on its toes.
Newhart’s career spans several successful television series, 14 feature films, and millions of albums sold worldwide. From uniquely funny standup bits—like one that explores what would have happened if a Madison Avenue PR rep had coached Abraham Lincoln on how to position Gettysburg—to his guest appearances on shows like Desperate Housewives and ER to his own television shows, Newhart is a true entertainer. Expect to laugh. A lot.
