(NEWARK, NJ) -- New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) presents Bill Maher on Friday, July 8 at 8:00pm. He’s irrepressible, opinionated and of course, politically incorrect. Professional provocateur Bill Maher returns to NJPAC for an evening of comedy (and ranting, and raving).

Maher has made a career out of ridiculing those in power, from his early days on the standup circuit to his irreverent roundtable series Politically Incorrect. As the host of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher—now in its incredible 18th season—he continues to play devil’s advocate, stir up trouble and confront controversy head-on.

Bill Maher is best known for his TV show, 'Politically Incorrect' which was on Comedy Central and ABC from 1993 through 2002. The comedian now hosts his HBO program 'Real Time With Bill Maher' and is known for his sarcastic attitude and his critical views of religion, politics, political correctness and more. Maher is ranked as the 38th greatest stand-up comedian of all time on Comedy Central's top 100 comedians list.

Tickets to see Bill Maher are available now and can be purchased by visiting NJPAC.org or calling 888.GO.NJPAC (888.466.5722) or by visiting the NJPAC Box Office. 

The New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), located at One Center Street in downtown Newark, New Jersey, is among the largest performing arts centers in the United States.  It is the artistic, cultural, educational and civic center of New Jersey — where great performances and events enhance and transform lives every day.  As New Jersey’s Town Square, NJPAC brings diverse communities together, providing access to all and showcasing the State’s and the world’s best artists, while acting as a leading catalyst in the revitalization of its home city.  Through its extensive Arts Education programs, NJPAC is shaping the next generation of artists and arts enthusiasts.  NJPAC has attracted more than 10 million visitors (including almost two million children) since opening its doors in 1997, and nurtures meaningful and lasting relationships with each of its constituents.
