Press Release

“Mad About You” and “Stranger Things’” Paul Reiser to perform at Gallagher Bluedorn Sept. 24

Paul Reiser, one of Comedy Central’s top 100 comedians of all time, will hit the road for stand-up dates across the U.S., including a show at the Gallagher Bluedorn.

The cross-country tour follows Reiser’s return to stand-up last year after a near 20-year break, but it’s his love of the art form that pulled him back in. "I always tell people this: there are very few things that you can do in your 60s that are close to how you did them when you were 19, and stand-up is one of the only ones, really," Reiser said in an interview with Forbes Magazine.

Whether a longtime fan or simply looking to enjoy a few laughs, audience members are invited to attend Paul Reiser’s comedy show at Gallagher Bluedorn on September 24. “We all need to laugh and let loose, and that’s been made abundantly clear over the last few years,” Chris Hale, Gallagher Bluedorn marketing manager, said. “That’s why we’re hosting Paul Reiser, a career actor and comedian who is best known for his slice-of-life comedy that speaks to the human in each of us. We’re excited to share that with our Cedar Valley audience.”

This year marked another milestone year for the prolific actor, comedian, television writer, producer, author and musician. His acting projects included the fourth season of Netflix’s mega-hit “Stranger Things,” the upcoming eight-episode Hulu comedy series “Reboot” and playing The Legend in season three of Amazon Prime’s “The Boys.” Reiser also wrapped filming on “The Problem with People,” an original comedy feature he co-wrote and produced.

A number of Reiser’s memorable recent roles and projects are currently available for streaming, including his highly-anticipated revival of the 90s comedy “Mad About You” with Helen Hunt, his Emmy-nominated performance in Chuck Lorre’s comedy-drama “The Kominsky Method” on Netflix and the critically acclaimed series “There’s…Johnny!” a love letter to “The Tonight Show” that was co-created and co-produced by Reiser and is currently featured on Peacock.

Tickets for Reiser’s show start at just $30 and can be purchased online at GBPAC.com/Reiser, in-person at any UNItix location or over the phone at (319) 273-7469.
