I like funny things and humorous people!
One of the best parts of the Daily Show (besides John Stewart himself). Would love to see him live!
Yes please–I love John Oliver!!! My kids have been home for the summer but leave on Saturday so I could use some cheering up!
I am addicted to comedy. You should be my enabler.
John Oliver is great on the daily show, and doing standup. I love funny Brits!
he makes most comedians seem severely underdeveloped..what a treat it would be to see him!
Bloody Hell, I could see John Oliver for free?! I would pay fifty quid to see him!
I was really impressed by his Comedy Central special and his weekly Stand Up show. I would love to see him in person.
John Oliver in Portland? I would love to win some tickets for an awesome night.
I would love to go! I saw his stand-up special on Netflix Instant, love him on “Community” and enjoyed his work on “The Daily Show.” It would be a lot of fun to see him in person. Plus, my birthday’s on Sunday, and it would be a nice (late) birthday present!

I would like to win tickets to this show because I think John Oliver is hilarious. I’m convalescing from a recent surgery and laughter would surely be appropriately indicated. Fingers crossed!
After working 10 days in a row, I desperately need to laugh!
John Oliver is one of the funniest comedians on the scene right now. His commentary on the world is fantastic! For instance, when recently discussing Hugh Grant’s involvement in exposing the News of the World phone hacking scandal: “That’s right,the guy who got car head from an L.A. road prostitute is now the moral compass of my nation!â€Â
My husband will be forever grateful if we get chosen for free tickets!

We have a new baby… we don’t get a lot of sleep OR alone time. We spend a lot of time feeding the baby in bed while watching the Daily Show or Comedy Central Presents.
