Asher Perlman: Back to the Drawing Board
About this Event
Asher Perlman is an Emmy-nominated, Peabody Award-winning comedian, New Yorker cartoonist, Television writer, and bestselling author based in Brooklyn. Until recently, he was a writer/performer on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where he famously couldn’t dunk a basketball. Now he’s unemployed and taking his show on the road with his unique blend of standup comedy and cartoons. Here are some nice things that cool people have said about Asher:
“Asher Perlman can do in one frame what I need two hours and seventeen minutes to accomplish half as well! Insightful, human and hilarious.”
-Judd Apatow
“Asher Perlman’s cartoons are the kind of funny that make you question what it is to be a person, but in a good way.”
-Ben Stiller
“Asher's cartoons are just like him: very funny, keenly attuned to the inherent strangeness of existence and very, very bald.”
-Stephen Colbert
“The profane amount of whimsy is only matched by the obscene level of hilarity. PERLMAN IS MEDDLING IN GOD’S DOMAIN.”
-Patton Oswalt
"I find myself wanting to live in the worlds Asher creates, until I realize they're not too far from the one I'm in (I own several genies). Asher Perlman is still my favorite cartoonist/modern day Sisyphus."
-Bowen Yang
“Asher Perlman makes your favorite comic’s favorite comics.”
-Nikki Glaser
“Any hack can conjure up the absurdity of human existence in a six hundred page novel (yeah you heard me, titans of literature!) but to do it with one image and one caption takes real genius. Asher Perlman’s comics are pure gold.”
-Rian Johnson
“Asher Perlman is the James Joyce of cartooning… if James Joyce was consistently hilarious and could draw well.”
-Paul Feig
