Lewis Black @ EKU

Post author By RHRNews
Post date September 22, 2016

Lewis Black, “The Emperor’s New Clothes: The Naked Truth Tour”

Grammy Award-winning stand-up comedian Lewis Black is the king of the rant. Black uses his trademark style of comedic yelling and animated finger-pointing to skewer anything and anyone that gets under his skin. His comedic brilliance lies in his ability to make people laugh at the absurdities of life, with topics that include current events, social media, politics and anything else that exposes the hypocrisy and madness he sees in the world. Mature content and language.
