About

Two-time Grammy award winning comedian/actor/writer Lewis Black uses his trademark style of comedic yelling and finger pointing to expose the absurdities of life. His comedic brilliance makes people laugh at life's hypocrisies and the insanity he sees in the world. He has performed throughout the world and the US, where he performed at Carnegie Hall and had two successful Broadway runs.

His latest stand-up special, Tragically, I Need You, released earlier this year and has already surpassed 1.3 million views on YouTube. The brand-new special explores topics including his ways of coping with the pandemic, his frustrations with the evolving world, and of course his thoughts about the chaos of America these last few years.

Adding a unique element to podcasting, Black delivers audience-written Rants which have been submitted from fans around the world on his podcast, Rant Cast.

Black is the longest-running contributor on Comedy Central's THE DAILY SHOW and his stand-up specials have appeared on HBO, Comedy Central, Showtime, and Epix.

In 2020, he released Thanks for Risking Your Life. In 2015, Black notably voiced the character "Anger" in the Pixar Academy Award-winning film, Inside Out. His other notable films include Universal's Accepted co-starring Jonah Hill, Blake Lively and Justin Long, and also Man Of The Year opposite Robin Williams, Christopher Walken, Laura Linney, and Jeff Goldblum.

The comedian has released eight critically acclaimed comedy albums including the 2007 Grammy Award-Winner, The Carnegie Hall Performance. He won his second Grammy in 2011 for his album, Stark Raving Black, and has a total of 6 Grammys nominations. He has published three bestsellers: Nothing's Sacred (Simon & Schuster, 2005), Me of Little Faith (Riverhead Books, 2008) and I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas (Riverhead Books, 2010).

A published playwright, he's written over 40 plays and has found his work performed throughout the country, including at the A.C.T. Theatre, the Magic Theatre, The Williamstown Theatre Festival, and The Public Theatre.

In addition to his professional pursuits, Lewis is dedicated to a number of charitable organizations including the Luv U Project, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and The 52nd Street Project.

He's also deeply committed to supporting our troops. A seasoned USO tour veteran, he's performed for the troops on three Christmas tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Lewis is currently on his 2023 Off The Rails Tour. For dates and more info go-to: www.Lewisblack.com.

    Very funny

    by SJane on 2012-06-11Red Robinson Show Theatre - Coquitlam

    I hadn't heard of Lewis Black and was very glad I went to see him. His expressions when upset are hilarious. His American political jokes are funny and he has a true understanding of the ridiculous.

    damn fine

    by gliderrider on 2012-06-11Red Robinson Show Theatre - Coquitlam

    this is the second time i've seen Lewis live. Like Bill Hicks and George Carlin, Lewis Black has the uncanny ability to show us how insane our politicians and culture are while making you laugh till you cry. Please start your own political party. There isn't a politician in the world that could survive a debate with you. May you live long and stay well

    So cranky - so funny!

    by LLS59 on 2012-06-11Red Robinson Show Theatre - Coquitlam

    The only tiny nitpick I have is that the show wasn't long enough! Otherwise, we started laughing during the first minute and didn't stop until the last...

    Black Rocks Niagara

    by bjasmine on 2010-06-13The Seneca Niagara Events Center at Seneca Niagara Casino - Niagara Falls

    I was a bit confused by the show's title ... there was very little material about God in the act (laugh), but I love Lewis Black, he never fails to make me laugh. I loved the warm-up guy, John Bowman. I've never seen him before, but he was worth seeing all on his own. Both are a bit heavy on the swearing, but that doesn't bother me.
