Lewis Black hosted by Jimmy Tingle

Part of Jimmy Tingle’s OFF BROADWAY “Un-Conventional Comedy Month.”

“The angry man Black’s style grew from the antiauthority, intellectual comedy of Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, and Bill Hicks, the gimme-a-break rants of Sam Kinison, and the absurdist humor of Bob Newhart. His stage act does include some boilerplate material of the modern-day stand-up — complaints about the weather and health clubs — but Black’s strength is talking politics. The comic, a self-described socialist, rejects both major parties and takes aim at everyone. John Kerry, George Bush. Corporate pigs. And it’s on this subject, during a performance, that he boils over.” — Boston Globe
