Reception

''Nick Offerman: American Ham'' received mostly positive reviews from critics. Geoffrey Berkshire of '' Variety'', said in his review that "Nick Offerman's affable stage presence carries this fairly routine standup concert film". John DeFore, in his review for '' The Hollywood Reporter'', wrote, "The stand-up film won't please all fans of Offerman's acting work." Kyle Burton of '' Indiewire'' graded the film a B−, saying, ""American Ham" is a solid comedy special — with stylish prerecorded title sequences for each new Tip — but it lacks some of the inventiveness or surprise that might otherwise warrant a slot at a major film festival. But that doesn't negate the way Offerman’s honest Americanist attitude regularly leads to laughs and insight."
