Lewis Black: is the Mark Twain of our times. If anything, Black is better at skewering the inflated fantasy balloons launched by both of our political parties. I absolutely will get tickets to his performance - with humble thanks to the Michigan Theater for booking his act.

When Lewis Black gets to edit AnnArbor.com then we'll have one hell of a newspaper.

It would be funny, but pretty curmudgeonly in tone. Maybe that would work?

LOL! Good one! But lets not forget: Black would never be allowed by the "monitors" here to post comments reflecting what he thinks of some of the stories published by AnnArbor.com. :-)

He also sits for autographs and pictures after every show, for as long as it takes to get through everybody in line.

I love his shows. He's one of the few comedians I've ever heard who is just as funny w/o the profanity as he is with it. There's a DVD out of 3 half-hour Comedy Central shows he did a number of years ago w/zero swearing that are hilarious. His comedy is smart and fast.
