Receiving critical acclaim, Lewis Black performs more than 200 nights annually to sold-out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and the United States— including a sold-out Broadway run at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City.
He is known for his angry face and his belligerent comedic style, in which he often simulates having a mental breakdown. Black’s comedy routines often escalate into angry rants about history, politics, religion, or any other cultural trends. When not on the road performing, he is also a spokesman for the ArubaTourism Authority, appearing in television ads that first aired in late 2009 and 2010. He was voted 51st of the 100 greatest stand-up comedians of all time by Comedy Central in 2004, and was voted 5th in Comedy Central’s Stand Up Showdown in 2008 and 11th in 2010.
