Comedian Bill Maher will be stopping in Sioux Falls for a stand up show this fall at the Washington Pavilion.

In addition to comedy, Maher is also a well known political commentator and actor.

Before his role as the host of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher hosted a similar late-night talk show called Politically Incorrect, originally on Comedy Central and later on ABC. Maher is known for his sarcastic attitude, political satire and sociopolitical commentary. He targets many topics including religion, politics, bureaucracies, political correctness, and the mass media.

Maher supports the legalization of cannabis and same-sex marriage. His critical views of religion were the basis for the 2008 documentary film Religulous. He is a supporter of animal rights, having served on the board of PETA since 1997, and is an advisory board member of Project Reason. In 2005, Maher ranked at number 38 on Comedy Central's 100 greatest stand-up comedians of all time. He received a Hollywood Walk of Fame star on September 14, 2010.

Tickets for the show on Sunday, September 13, 2015 at 7:00 PM are priced from $20 to $80. They're available at the Washington Pavilion Box Office, or by phone at 605-367-6000 and online at washingtonpavilion.org.
