WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

The "Politically Incorrect" Bill Maher comes to Broadway with Victory Begins at Home, a one-man riff on all things political. The last twenty minutes is a talk back with the audience.

Bill Maher, in 1993, created the perfect forum for his quick-witted comedic talents - "Politically Incorrect."

A limited number of $20.00 rush tickets are available on the day of the performance at the box office beginning at 10:00am.
