"Concerts and Convocations has been looking at bringing Lewis Black to campus for the last four years. Until now, we have not been able to afford him," says Jeniece Tygesen, Concerts and Convocations committee chair. "We are excited to bring this caliber of comedian to UW."
As a stand-up comedian, author, playwright and actor, Black is known for his unique comedy style. This often includes simulating a mental breakdown or an increasingly angry rant, ridiculing history, politics, religion, trends and cultural phenomena. Black hosted Comedy Central's "The Root of All Evil" and makes regular appearances on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" delivering his "Back in Black" commentary segment.
Black's movie appearances include "Accepted," "Man of the Year," "Un-accompanied Minors"
and many other cameo roles in major motion pictures. He is also well known for his
popular HBO special.
