In 2018, Wendell Berry posed a question to Nick, a query that planted the seed of this book, sending Nick on two memorable journeys with pals-a hiking trip to Glacier National Park with his friends Jeff Tweedy and George Saunders, as well as an extended visit to his friend James Rebanks, the author of The Shepherd's Life and English Pastoral. In his new book, Nick takes a humorous, inspiring, and elucidating trip to America's trails, farms, and frontier to examine the people who inhabit the land, what that has meant to them and us, and to the land itself, both historically and currently. Nick Offerman has always felt a particular affection for the Land of the Free-not just for the people and their purported ideals but to the actual land itself: the bedrock, the topsoil, and everything in between that generates the health of your local watershed. Even though Ron Swanson once said “Never half-a** two things - whole-a** one thing,” Offerman proved he could master comedy, song and storytelling in one hilarious package.A humorous and rousing set of literal and figurative sojourns as well as a mission statement about comprehending, protecting, and truly experiencing the outdoors, fueled by three journeys undertaken by actor, humorist, and New York Times bestselling author Nick Offerman
Offerman’s “All Rise” was a highly entertaining, yet beautifully simple experience. Offerman can definitely be described as a more jovial version of his iconic “Parks and Recreation” character - opinionated, to-the point and well-spoken. No matter what his topic was, his jokes landed effortlessly, eliciting laugh after laugh from the audience. His performance was just so natural and very conversational in nature, seeming as though he was simply having a chat with his buddies.
While still uproariously funny, Offerman’s set was almost relaxing at parts. You will find me draped in a magnificent squirrel blouse, hand-crafted by Fort Lonesome of Austin, Texas. An evening of deliberative talking and light dance that will compel you to chuckle whilst enjoining you to brandish a better side of humanity than the one to which we have grown accustomed.
