Review of Nick Offerman: American Ham (2014) by Benton M — 06 May 2015

This special finds Nick Offerman framing comedy skits, musical numbers, and stand-up around ten tips for living a better life. Recurring motifs include cunnilingus, Christianity, cunnilingus AND Christianity, red meat, going outdoors (sometimes for cunnilingus), self -esteem, legal definitions of parody, and Nick Offerman's adoration for his wife (which leads to cunnilingus).

The individual pieces are a bit hit-or-miss, but Nick Offerman is a likable performer in just about any context. Fans of his Ron Swanson character on Parks & Recreation should have no trouble getting into American Ham.
