    NEW YORK, July 29 /EMWNews/ -- Warning: This stand-up performance

will be delivered with a British accent, so be prepared for words to come

with more authority than you're used to. With a mixture of political sound

bites, still photos and schmaltzy 80's power ballads, comedian John Oliver

takes a look at the moments that have defined our soul-sucking decade. From

his take on the evolution controversy to imperialism to global warming,

watching this stand-up special may be your only way of surviving these

Terrifying Times. Released via COMEDY CENTRAL Home Entertainment and

Paramount Home Entertainment, "John Oliver: Terrifying Times - Extended &

Uncensored" DVD arrives in stores nationwide on Tuesday, August 19 and will

also be available at http://shop.comedycentral.com.



    "John Oliver: Terrifying Times - Extended & Uncensored" DVD is a single

disc featuring the following bonus materials: select appearances on "The

Daily Show," behind-the-scenes at a political animal taping at the UCB

Theatre in New York City and "John and Andy on:" Interviews with Andy

Zaltzman (special guest and Oliver's erstwhile double-act partner).



    John Oliver was born and raised in England, in the year of punk, 1977.

His passport lists his occupation as "comedian" and, as everyone knows,

passports never lie. Before coming to New York City, he worked as a

stand-up comedian around the UK, entertaining and irritating audiences in

equal measure for many years and regularly took shows to the prestigious

Edinburgh Festival. When "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" came knocking on

his door in 2006, Oliver flung it open and jumped into its arms with a

relish which made all parties slightly uncomfortable. He is very pleased to

have come to ply his trade in this country and, to be honest, he had all

but burnt his bridges in his own.
