Ring in the holiday spirit with John McGivern, in person, LIVE, at the Germantown Performing Arts Center December 13th, 2025. John McGivern is best known for his six-time Emmy-award winning work on PBS. John spent nine seasons on PBS with his weekly series, AROUND THE CORNER with John McGivern. His new show, JOHN McGIVERN’S MAIN STREETS, can be found on PBS stations in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa. John spent two years writing a monthly for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and two years writing for Milwaukee Magazine about his travels around the state of Wisconsin. His one-man-shows, THE EARLY STORIES OF JOHN McGIVERN, MIDSUMMER NIGHT McGIVERN AND JOHN McGIVERN’S HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS tell the stories of being the third born of six kids in a working-class Irish Catholic Family in Milwaukee Wisconsin. His stories are personal, funny, touching, and familiar. His themes are based in family and remind us all that as specific as we might believe our experiences are, we all share a universal human experience. John has been the keynote speaker for The Alliance for Children and Families, The State Department on Aging, The Children and Family Service Agency of Wisconsin, The Wisconsin Defense League, Planned Parenthood, Christ Child Association, Foundation for Children with Cancer, Employee Assistant Professional Association and has been fortunate to entertain companies such as Spectrum, Northwestern Mutual, Kohl’s Department Stores, Baird, Acuity, and BMO Harris. John is proud to have been part of WE’RE FUNNY THAT WAY on HBO and OUT THERE II on Comedy Central. He was seen sitting next to Sally Field on POLITICALLY INCORRECT and knighted by Julie Andrews in the hit film THE PRINCESS DIARIES.
