Comix At Foxwoods Presents Nick Offerman at Fox Theater on September 5

Comix At Foxwoods will welcome the multitalented Nick Offerman to the Fox Theater stage on Thursday, Sept. 5 at 9 p.m. Fans can purchase tickets in advance for $30, $40 and $50. This show is for mature audiences only.

Currently appearing in the feature film, "We're The Millers," Offerman is best known for his role as Ron Swanson on NBC’s critically acclaimed Parks & Recreation, where his humor has made him a fixture in television culture. He received the Television Critics Association Award for Achievement in Comedy in 2011, after a previous nomination in 2010 for his work on the Emmy Award-nominated program. The Critic’s Choice Awards also nominated him for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for 2011.

Some of Offerman’s latest projects on the big screen include two major comedies, Casa De Mi Padre and 21 Jump Street. He’s also hit the film festival scene, with Smashed debuting at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival, while Somebody Up There Likes Me, which he both produced and starred in, premiered at the eclectic South By Southwest Festival in March 2012.
