His latest stand-up special, Tragically, I Need You, released earlier this year and has already surpassed 1.3 million views on YouTube.

by Wagon on 7/14/09The Venue - HammondLewis Black gave a great show- as expected. He was witty, intelligent and insightful, self-depricating as usual, and actually mellowed out a bit from a few years ago. He kept the audience enganged and left everyone wanting to hangout and laugh with him more.

by Jukski on 7/11/09The Venue - HammondHe appeared exhausted and a loss for words many times. Not funny at all and not worth the bother. What happened to Lewis?

by Colee on 7/11/09The Venue - HammondI had a great time at the Lewis Black show. His opening act was real good and Lewis himself was worth the price of the tickets. The service at the venue was also outstanding as we had an usher greet us and walk us directly to our seats. I would highly recommend Lewis Black's show and would enjoy seeing him again!!

by jm77 on 7/11/09The Venue - HammondLewis Black is hilarious! I absolutely love his stand up! I first got hooked on him from his "Daily Show" segment "Back in Black." He definitely lived up to (and exceeded) my expectations. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good laugh.

by SandyShore52 on 7/11/09The Venue - HammondMy spouse and I are Lewis Black fans and we were not disappointed with his show at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, IN.

by cycorythm on 7/11/09The Venue - HammondThis man is hilarious. Anyone who has seen any of his HBO specials would know that....highly recommended and I will see him again on his next tour. The Venue (@ Horseshoe - Hammond) is an interesting place, the row designation is a little confusing but the theater itself it excellent. I'm not sure how it would fare for a rock show, but as a large comedy club it fit the bill. The view was good and the large projection screens to the left and right of the stage helped.
