Lewis Black Tickets Lewis Black (born August 30, 1948) is a Grammy Award-winning American stand-up comedian, author, playwright, and actor. He is known for his regular appearances on Comedy Central's The Daily Show delivering his "Back in Black" commentary segment, in which he ridicules (often simulating a nervous breakdown or rant) recent trends and cultural phenomena. Lewis Black's style of comedy is that of a man who, in dealing with the absurdities of life and contemporary politics, is approaching his personal limits of sanity. Sarcasm, profanity, shouting, and trademark angry finger-shaking bring emphasis to his topics of discussion.

Lewis Black Tickets Continued

Lewis Black was born in Washington, D.C., USA to a middle-class Jewish family. He was raised in Silver Spring, Maryland, graduating from Springbrook High School in 1966. He was exposed to playwriting as an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He earned a Masters in Fine Arts at the Yale School of Drama in 1977. Lewis Black's stand-up comedy began as an opening act for the plays as he was also the master of ceremonies. Soon after, he left and began working as a comedian as well as finding bit parts in television and films.

A good portion of Lewis Black's political material seems to be aimed at exposing both the comedy and tragedy of staunch conservatism, as well as disbelief at the mystifying combination of thick-headedness and condescending attitude in authority figures. Lewis Black lists his comedic influences as George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Lily Tomlin, Bob Newhart and Shelley Berman. Lewis Black once described his humor as like "being on the Titanic every single day and being the only person who knows what is going to happen".
