Lewis Black at Chicago Theatre
Nobody puts on a better twitching-and-shaking-in-anger tirade than Lewis Black. The 61-year-old stand-up's sweaty diatribes have been entertaining fans who enjoy watching someone erupt like a comedic volcano several times a set for more than two decades. Comedy Central has been kind to Black, airing his short-lived The Root Of All Evil show and several comedy specials, not to mention a recurring segment on The Daily Show, "Back In Black," which allows the comedian four minutes to spout just how absurd the world was and how absurdly angry that made him. His newest special, Stark Raving Black, is more of the same: Black rants and raves on the economy, alternative energy, and how he became a mainstream comedian.
