Paul Reiser has seemingly done it all in the entertainment industry and has worn many hats. He can fill a voluminous resume with titles such as “critically-acclaimed television and film actor,” “best-selling author,” producer, composer, musician and stand-up comedian.

Reiser can be seen in the Steven Soderbergh-produced comedy series, “Red Oaks,” now streaming on Amazon Prime. He plays Getty, owner the Red Oaks Country Club, in a coming-of-age comedy set during the 1980s.

He was also seen on the big screen in the Academy Award-winning film, “Whiplash,” as Jim Neiman. Reiser has several other projects scheduled for release in the coming months.

Named one of Comedy Central’s “100 Top Comedians Of All-Time” (he’s No. 77 on the list), Reiser is a comic’s comic, respected by his colleagues and adored by audiences.

Not content to rest on his laurels, the 58-year-old Reiser is hitting the road on a comedy tour that brings him to Musikfest Café, 8 p.m. Nov. 20, at SteelStacks, 101 Founders Way, Bethlehem. His only other area stop is the Colonial Theatre, Nov. 21, Phoenixville, Chester County.

Reiser describes his act as “standard comedy” in a phone call from Los Angeles, where the comedian resides.

“It’s always funny when people say, ‘Explain your comedy. What do you do?’” he says. “Well, I’ll stand there and I’ll entertain you, and you’ll laugh and you’ll go home. It’s not more complicated than that.”

Reiser mines his comedic material from his life experiences and perspectives. “I talk about stuff that’s just actually true to me,” he says about the topics that audiences can expect to hear him touch upon.

“For me, it’s coming back after a long time of not doing stand-up and talking about, you know, being in my 50s, as opposed to the 30s or 20s, being married longer than I was the last time I was out doing stand-up.

“Having taken so much time off, it kind of feels like getting together with old friends. I feel there’s this nice connection.

“The audiences come in and they know me and I feel like I know them and we’ve all gotten a little bit older. We’ve all gone through a bunch of stuff. It feels like there’s a lot of common ground and I’m having a great time getting out again.”

Many would consider returning to the road and working comedy rooms a rough grind after reaching the height of success that Reiser has attained, but the always-busy performer truly seems to miss the times his workload makes him unavailable to tour.

“I didn’t do it for a long time,” he says about stand-up. “I had always intended to get back and, to me, everything else was a distraction. I got sort of side-tracked and it took me much longer than I would have thought to get back to it.

“When I started that’s all I wanted to do. I just wanted to be a stand-up. That, to me, is the simplest and is the most fun and it’s the most rewarding,” he says of his career.

“I mean, the other stuff is rewarding, you know. You do something and millions of people can see it. But, in terms of actual day-to-day enjoying it, there’s something very pure about just going to a town and telling jokes.”

Reiser says he never planned to stage a comedy tour. It was more like, as he describes it, “going to the gym,” just something to do.

Pursuing the comedic equivalent of the pot of gold at the end of the proverbial rainbow and the straightforwardness involved in performing stand-up compared to other entertainment mediums is appreciated by Reiser.

“The more I did it [comedy], the more I got back in touch with what I liked about it in the first place. There’s something very gratifying about having an idea and sharing it with people and they laugh, or if they don’t laugh the way you wanted them to, then you go back the next day and you rework it,” he explains about the process of stand-up.

“It’s that sort of elusive goal. It’s like the moving horizon. You never quite get it. Comedians always talk about chasing something that’s a little hard to grasp and, to me, that’s what keeps it fun.

“There’s something very freeing about doing stand-up. Movies and TV ... it’s wonderful and I’ve been lucky enough to work with great people and do some things that I’m really proud of but there are a lot of other components, a lot of pieces that you have to piece together.

“You want to do a movie you’ve got to organize a lot of people and it takes years to get from beginning to end, whereas stand-up is just so uncomplicated. You show up. You do it. And there’s no middleman. You don’t have to run your jokes by a studio to see if they’ll put money behind it. Here’s the jokes. Good night,” he laughs.

Reiser continues about how he really enjoys the direct contact and the simplicity of the overall process in creating stand-up comedy, likening it to a creator being in direct contact with the end users of the product.

“I feel like even if you’ve never seen me on stage and if you know me from whatever, from, ‘Mad About You,’ or from the books, it’s pretty consistent. Nobody’s going to be shocked and go, ‘Well, that’s not the guy I thought I was going to see at all.’

“I’ve been pretty much myself for all these years, for good or for bad. If people saw something they liked, they can feel comfortable coming in and going, ‘OK, we’re going to have a good time with this guy because we know him.’”
