My husband, my two twenty something daughters and I just returned from the Lewis Black comedy show at Mohegan Sun. The show was awesome - Lewis is so funny and he delivers his lines with impeccable timing. I highly recommend seeing the show if it comes to your town.
Thought he would have done more political stuff. The story about his parents was good but too long. No regrets about going though.
Even funnier than last year. And, the following evening I saw a Vince Gill concert on TV and it was exactly as Lewis described it and I laughed all over again. Can' wait to see the next tour.
This was the first time i saw Lewis Black and would do it again. He had a long show... over a hour and it was all worth it. I look forward to seeing hin again!
Lewis Black -outstanding as always. I've seen him five times now, this was one of the funniest I've seen of his. Amazing show.
Lewis Black 's "Let them eat cake" show at Mohegan Sun was wonderful. John Bowman starts off the show and he just get better and better. Lewis was on stage for an hour and a half- plenty funny and plenty thought-provoking. He makes one think about what is going on and even though it is presented as funny, it has some bite to it. If you go away without thinking about what is going on in the world , shame on you!
Lewis Black said that many people were asking him would he be as funny without Bush being there providing a basis for a lot of his dialogue. He said that given politicians and who they are it was a stupid question. He sighted Obama hiring Tim Geithner, someone who does not pay his taxes, as Treasury Secretary. I thought ok here comes the diatribe...but nothing....absolutely NOTHING else was said politically....I guess Lewis is a liberal DEMOCRAT even though he makes fun of democrats and republicans for a living. His true self came out and was not as funny as his last concert last year where my group of friends fell out of their seats laughing. What happened to Lewis the iconclast??? Afraid to criticize Obama the magnificent? There were plenty of his four letter words, but not enough of funny material. sad to report this.
90 minutes of non-stop laughs. One of the funniest guys around.
The new material is not as funny as the old material. He was funny, but not as good as the last two times that we saw him.
When he gets all worked up and mad...he's so funny!
Started out by saying with the economy down 20% therefore the show would be and it WAS!!! Or worse
Lewis Black "let them eat Cake" was great. Comedy / commentary for adults about life and politics. He has a great delivery and I have enjoyed his stand-up for years. The only negative was the acousticcs at the Arena. At times we could not hear clearly.
Lewis did a great job. He can leave his warmup person home the next time.
This man was absolutely deadpan funny. His scathing wit and irreverent, off-color jokes left all of us in tears we laughed so hard!
Marvelous, hilarious, bitter and sweet, right on! However, lose the opener, he's TERRIBLE! Have subsequently suggested to several Tweeters that they place their phones where Black recommended!!!
Lewis Black is the best. He combined comedy and piognant moments to both current events, and how he felt about growing older. He has replaced George Carlin as a comedian who not only makes you laugh but think as he is performing.
Excellent show, the best of Lewis Black. I came all the way from Nyack to see this event. I really enjoyed and could not stop laughing.
Great show. Lewis Black was at his usual best.....on point and over the top angry. Love it!
Almost all the material was new, I recognized only one joke used on one of his previous comedy albums, and it was used in a different context and he had also built upon the original joke. I laughed to tears on several occasions, Lew only gets funnier with age.
This was a GREAT show which I would recommend to anyone - love this guy! The only problem was not with him or his lead-in comedian, but with the acoustics. We couldn't hear most of the lead-in act at all, and if Black got too close to the microphone or yelled (as he does) it was totally lost. I can't believe this is the comedians fault unless they use their own people to set up the sound. Other than that it was terrific. Seats were OK (on the side looking at his side and better than sitting far back on the floor), but I don't understand why there were really good seats empty and alot of people were stuck elsewhere.
