Nick Offerman has become a TV icon. His character Ron Swanson — the deadpan, meat-loving libertarian on NBC's
Parks and Recreation — may be equaled in sheer laughs only by Michael Richards' Kramer on
Seinfeld. Offerman is also a carpenter on the side (featured in
Popular Woodworking). The point? He's a good ol' Midwestern Renaissance man. Just look at that mustache. See him at 8 p.m. at the Midland (1228 Main, 816-283-9921). Tickets cost $27.50. Buy them at
midlandkc.com.
