Lewis Black (190225)
In spite of our constantly irritating him, Lewis Niles Black continues to tour. Railing against a universe riddled with absurdity, stupidity, and venality, he punctuates his volcanic ire and his diarrheic rants with the psychotic gesticulations of a man on the verge of emotional collapse. In 1981, as dramaturge in residence at an artsy little theatre in New! York! City! Black first stepped into stand-up by way of introducing his and his collaborators’ compositions, and/or stalling for time.
