Watching Mr. Oliver pose clueless questions to serious people on "The Daily Show" can be painfully funny. Watching him onstage for an hour is more like anesthesia.

"John Oliver: Terrifying Times..." should appeal to fans of his sardonic, intellectual brand of humor.

Chicago Tribune
What Oliver has to say might not be the most comforting, but rather than stating the potentially inevitable as a doomsday scenario, he makes it funny, enlightening and educational.

Rating: 7/10 --
Terrifying Times isn't likely to end up as anyone's favorite stand-up film of all time, but it offers a smart take on some of the major topics facing the civilized world in the 21st Century.

Product Description:
Always capable of seeing the lighter side of the apocalypse, British comedian John Oliver uses this stand-up special to explore such frothy topics as the Iraq War, global imperialism, and slavery. Best known for his stints as a correspondent on THE DAILY SHOW, Oliver's deadpan delivery and modest proposals offer a refreshing antidote to the disingenuous banter of political pundits. Originally aired on Comedy Central, this program was filmed live at New York City's Symphony Space Theatre.
