Bill Maher, Comedian and Host of Real Time on HBO is Coming to California's Central Valley

SONOMA COUNTY, Calif., June 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Rick Bartalini Presents announced today that Bill Maher, Comedian and Host of Real Time on HBO will perform in Fresno, first time in Fresno, California. Bill Maher is scheduled to perform October 30, 2011 at the William Saroyan Theatre. Tickets go on-sale this Friday, June 24 at 10:00 A.M. at www.RBPconcerts.com

For the last fifteen years, Bill Maher has set the boundaries of where funny, political talk can go on American television. First on "Politically Incorrect" (Comedy Central, ABC, 1993-2002), and for the last seven years on HBO's "Real Time," Maher's combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 21 Emmy nominations. In October 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher's uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, "Religulous," directed by Larry Charles ("Borat"). The documentary has gone on to become the seventh highest grossing documentary ever. 

With Maher's politically incorrect brand of humor, his stand-up debut in Fresno will make for a thought provoking evening. The majority of registered voters in both the city and the county of Fresno are Republicans. Nevertheless, Democrat Barack Obama carried the county by 50.2% in the 2008 presidential election. With a population of 502,303, Fresno is the fifth largest city in California, the largest inland city in California, and the 34th largest in the nation. Fresno is located in the center of the wide San Joaquin Valley of Central California.

Tickets for Bill Maher at William Saroyan Theatre are $49.50 and $69.50 and go on-sale June 24, 2011 at 10:00 A.M. Tickets are available through www.RBPconcerts.com or Ticketmaster.

Maher's performance is produced by Rick Bartalini Presents.
