"More and more,we're seeing entertainers that used to play other venues in the region make the move to DPAC. Clear sound, great views of the stage and the best audiences in the Triangle...nothing beats a show at DPAC. We've wanted to host Bill Maher on our stage for some time and it will be great to have him in Durham," said Bob Klaus, GM of DPAC.

First on Politically Incorrect (Comedy Central, ABC, 1993-2002), and for the last seven years on HBOs Real Time, Mahers combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him twenty-one Emmy nominations. In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Mahers uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, Religulous, directed by Larry Charles (Borat). The documentary has gone on to become the 7th highest grossing documentary ever.

In addition to Real Time which has featured such regular visitors as Robin Williams, Arianna Huffington, Alec Baldwin and Michael Moore Maher has written five bestselling books: True Story: A Novel, Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrects Greatest Hits, When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden, New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer and most recently The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody but Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass.

Maher started his career as a stand-up comedian in 1979, and still performs at least fifty dates a year in Las Vegas and in sold-out theaters all across the country. Two of his nine stand-up specials for HBO 2007s The Decider and 2005s Im Swiss have been nominated for Emmy awards. Bills most recent stand-up special for HBO was the hilarious, Bill Maher But Im Not Wrong; and February 2012 CrazyStupidPolitics LIVE! from Silicon Valley on Yahoo.com.

Maher was born in New York City, raised in River Vale, N.J. and went to Cornell University. He now resides in Los Angeles.
