Nick Offerman at Theatre Royal Drury Lane review: more than just a moustache

Nick Offerman wants to make it clear that there is more to him than a moustache. The currently clean-shaven actor is best known as Ron Swanson, the boss with the manly facial hair in hit comedy Parks and Recreation (and is so popular that you can buy a cushion with his face on it). Swanson is why this show sold out and an extra one was added in July. If you like your comedy quirky, slow-burn and non-hirsute grab a ticket.

This is not strictly stand-up though. It is essentially the Illinois-born Offerman delivering a laid-back monologue about his life and philosophy punctuated by light-hearted folksy songs on subjects ranging from hiding alcohol in religious artefacts to the tyranny of masculinity.
