by Wineman on 2/26/24The Factory - St. LouisFunny, thought-provoking, insightful and outrageous at times, it's what I love about Lewis Black. Great show, although the crowd was typically St. Louis* subdued. That was on us, not Lewis. Great venue, too, will go there again. *Chesterfield
Rating: 5 out of 5 The best!
by JJ on 2/26/24The Factory - St. LouisLew never disappoints. Nice venue, too. Especially loved his take on Chesterfield.As a transplanted New Yorker, I just could not believe people would live this far out when thereās no reason to. (Ahem.)

by jj on 2/26/24The Factory - St. LouisI believe the comedian started off Strong was pretty darn funny until he got into politics and religion. I don't know why comedians have to lecture us about frozen embryos and political choices. There's plenty of other things to chat about, too bad.

by Celo on 2/22/24Genesee Theatre - WaukeganIāve enjoyed Lewis Blackās segments on TDS for years and first time I got a chance to see him live. True pro in his delivery, on topic and laughed all the way through the set. Look forward to his next act.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Lewis Black: Wit Sharp As Ever
by The Urban Report on 2/21/24Genesee Theatre - WaukeganDespite one or two momentary āsenior moments,ā Lewis Black is as sharp as ever in his side-achingly witty observations on the warped American political scene and the āf***g idiotsā responsible for it. Black speaks truth and, although his fans are heartbroken he is giving up touring, we are greatly relieved he will continue to appear on āThe Daily Showā and produce his podcasts. He has inspired generations from the Boomers on down, and we eagerly anticipate his next book and, hopefully, new play! ā A.S.H. Urban

by Scott on 2/21/24Genesee Theatre - WaukeganLB not touring in an election year will be a huge loss to all. He was spot on, very insightful and funny. Thank you Lewis!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Best show yet
by Kls on 2/21/24Genesee Theatre - WaukeganThis was the 5th time weāve seen him and I enjoyed all the previous shows, but in my opinion, this was his best.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Lew Never Disappoints!
by Klug Geisel on 2/21/24Genesee Theatre - WaukeganWhat an evening! Exceeding expectations and then some, it was a fantastic evening with Lewis Black. He speaks to us in a way no other comedian can. It's more than simply making us laugh. Lew has a unique way of being thought provoking and hysterical all at the same time. He speaks to our souls and leaves us with a smile. Of course, ever since his White Album, I still lay awake at night and ponder the question of that woman's statement, "If not for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college..."

Rating: 5 out of 5 Kind of Sad
by MilwFan on 2/21/24Genesee Theatre - WaukeganGreat show as usual, but a bit sad because this may have been the last time I get to see him live in person.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Lewis Black is amazing
by SinChicago on 2/21/24Genesee Theatre - WaukeganSo glad to see him again. He never disappoints. Truly a comedian with talent like no other. Looking forward to his next chapter. Only negative was the Genesee Theater in Waukegan. Itās absolutely gorgeous, but the seats arenāt made for anyone taller than 5ā5. Itās nearly a week later and my knees are killing me. But so worth it to see Lou.
Rating: 5 out of 5 A true MENSCH!!!
by Heidi W. on 2/21/24Genesee Theatre - WaukeganLewis was as sharp as ever and while I am sad to never see him tour again, at least he'll still be around on The Daily Show!! The entire staff of the Genessee is warm, friendly, helpful, and it is always a pleasure to see a show there!! THANK YOU, EVERYONE!!!

Rating: 4 out of 5 Lewis Black was great. Not a great venue
by PD24 on 2/20/24Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitLewis Black was hilarious. We all really enjoyed his performance. The venue, however, was not so great. Itās a smaller venue, which should be nice, but the bartenders were doing something with ice for over 5 min and it was very loud and distracting. Throughout the entire performance, security/police had walkie talkies going off that were very loud and distracting too. Itās not a loud show that would drown that kind of noise out. Iām sure a music performance would be better.
