One of the most energetic performers in comedy, Black provides audiences with a passionate performance filled with hilarious rants about social absurdities and political blunders. He exudes a rare form of satire that can ignite laugher within an audience, while still making an enlightening point about the world.
In the late 80s Black left his career as a theater playwright in New York to pursue stand-up comedy full-time. His first big break was in 1996, when a producer friend asked him to film a weekly segment for a new show on Comedy Central. The piece titled "Back in Black" aired on "The Daily Show" and eventually became one of the network's most popular and longest running segments.
Increased exposure from his appearance on "The Daily Show" generated a record deal with Stand Up! Records and several comedy CDs quickly followed. Black also filmed two HBO specials, which include "Black On Broadway" and "Red, White and Screwed." His other television credits include regular appearances on "Inside the NFL," "Larry King Live," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and "The Late Show with David Letterman."
Black's first book, "Nothing's Sacred" debuted in 2005. Black is finalizing a second book titled "Me of Little Faith," set to be released in June 2008.
In 2006, Black appeared in several movies including "Man of the Year," "Accepted" and "Unaccompanied Minors." He also lent his voice to the animated film "Farce of the Penguins."
In March 2008, Comedy Central premiered Black's own comedy show "Lewis Black's Root of All Evil." The show has Black once again demonstrating his beloved funnyman rants for viewing audiences.
